It was such an honor to raise money for the Kisses For Kyle Foundation. A group of Spanish students came to America for a month as an exchange program, and we chose your organization to serve the Bucks County community. It was one of the most valuable experiences for these students to take back to their own community. Community service projects are not as prevalent in Spain, but after a day of washing cars for a worthy cause the students commented that they would like to take this idea back to Spain! They were so proud to team with Kisses For Kyle and raise almost $500! Thank you, Michele Scannapieco Center for Cultural Interchange's Area Coordinator
Emily Eden Solomon is a 10 year old 4th grader with a heart bigger than most adults. She has been involved with Kisses for Kyle for a couple years now as a model in the fashion show. What little girl wouldn't want to be? This year however was different. This is the year that she actually "got it". She realized that it was about the children & their families not clothes, hair & make-up.
