Providence Hosts Kids to Kids Sixth Birthday Bash

On March 3, 2007, Kids to Kids celebrated its sixth birthday at Providence, a master planned community in Las Vegas.

This is the second year that Providence has hosted and sponsored our birthday celebration. Providence is located at I-215 and Hualapai.

The event was filled with laughter, books, games, food and more.

Special guests at the event included (from left to right, above) Miss Teen Nevada Megan Franco and Miss Nevada Mistie Williams, author Ruth Devlin, who wrote "Desert Seasons," and author of "When I Read," Frank Fiorello.

We love our dedicated volunteers and members of the Kids to Kids staff!

Guests were invited to guess how many pennies were in this jar to win a prize. The final count: 5,524 pennies.

This event coincides with our "Pennies From Pages" fundraising efforts. Find out more.

Thanks to everyone who helped make our sixth birthday such a success!
