- 1:25and that's also where the mayor will be. But that go kart track that's
- 1:26right behind where all the activities will be and we're opening it up and so
- 1:30families can come for twenty dollars and you basically buy a square on a go
- 1:34kart track and they can draw. So we'll give them some chalk and they

- 1:41basically going to be kind of overseeing that and helping them draw, and then
- 1:44those proceeds for that twenty dollars will be going back to KASA and then our

- 2:47cord to point of Special Advocates. We are a volunteer based organization. Our
- 2:53volunteers provide a strong voice, healing herd and the opportunity to drive to children
- 3:00who are in the foster care system because of view the neglect. I mean,
- 3:04these children find themselves in these sharp infested waters of foster care, in
- 3:08strangers' homes, and these volunteers just bring happiness to these kids. They give
- 3:15them the opportunity to just be children, talk to them about what's happening.
- 3:20If siblings are placed in different foster homes, they bring them together, they
- 3:24take them to the park. They just let them be kids, and they
- 3:29are there for them. They are their champion. They speak up for them
- 3:31in court, let the judge know what their wishes are. All by communicating
- 3:37with everybody that's involved in the child's life while they are in the foster care
- 3:42system. So basically they just put those pieces of the puzzle together for everyone
- 3:46involved, but mainly for the judge. They bring the story to the judge
- 3:52of how the kids are doing in foster care and what needs to happen and
- 3:54making sure that their needs are being met and that they're not being swept under
- 3:59the rug. So they are really really special individuals that deserve to be recognized
