YPS is again partnering with Stillwater Exchange Club and the Department of Human Services to put on Holiday Heroes, a Christmas party for all foster families of Payne County. Typically, there are over 100 foster children in the county this time of year and Holiday Heroes gives these families a chance to relax and be honored. The event features appearances by Pistol Pete, OSU athletes, and of course Santa Claus. Every foster child receives a gift from Santa as well as dinner and door prizes for the entire family. All of this is donated by community members and generous Stillwater organizations.
Volunteer at the event. The actual party will take place the evening of Friday, December 7th. Volunteers will assist with setup, facilitate games, and tear down. We are only in need of a small number of volunteers for this day. Because of confidentiality issues, all volunteers must email their interest in advance to philip.goodwin@okstate.edu and submit a signed confidentiality agreement.
