Back to School Playground Games Night for Fostering Community

Fostering Families is a local organization that supports families involved in fostering and adoption. There are more than 2,000 children in foster care in Milwaukee County. Fostering Families seeks to encourage and empower families involved with both fostering and adoption through family events and community connections.

Fostering Families is collecting school supplies for over 100 foster kids to start off the upcoming school year. We want to make our support of this drive a little extra fun by adding in a playground games night as well where we can spend a little time as families in our SBK community having some summer fun together!

While everyone gathers, we’ll spend some time sorting the school supplies and making some encouraging notes to include with the items we’ll be sending off to the foster families. Then we’ll spend the rest of the time having some good old fashioned playground fun together playing classic games like freeze tag, duck duck goose, kickball, etc.- whatever the kids want to play! There is also a playground at the park for kids that want to opt out of any of the games.

All ages are welcome- we’ll gear our playground games toward the ages of the kids attending. We’re happy to welcome as many families as want to join, including guests.

Can’t make it, but still want to contribute school supplies? We’ll have drop off bin locations in Brookfield and Pewaukee through Wednesday 7/24. Exact address will be provided upon registration. Fostering Families also has multiple drop off locations throughout Waukesha and Milwaukee counties- check out exact locations on their Facebook page HERE.

This project is open to everyone. Please only sign up if you know you can attend. We understand illness and emergencies do come up so if you register and can no longer attend, please let us know ASAP so we can fill your spot.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

A big thanks to you for lending a little hand!
