2010 Fun Run set for October 23 Our New courses will again be used for this upcoming run and will include a 10K.
In coordination with The Town of Hickory Creek and the Core Property of West Lake Park on Lake Lewisville we are expecting to increase the number of runners again this year.
The Fun Run over the years has been setup to encourage a Family outing and get the children involved.
While trying to raise money and awareness for the Spirit of Christmas we try and keep our entry fee low to have a high participation of children. |
| 530 Children Helped in 2009 Once again we were able to increase the number of children helped in the Lake Cities area. Due to the increase children and decrease of funds the board decided to not provide bicycles and monitor the gifts being provided. The primary concern was to make sure we were providing at least 2 sets of clothing for each child. In the prior year we had built 175 bikes the night of the wrapping party. Return to top of Page . |
| Pre-Wrapping Pre-Wrapping is what we do 2 weeks before the wrapping party to make sure that all gifts and clothing are organized for the big wrap. The items purchased off the trees at Wal-Mart are sorted and verified to make sure the sizes match up with each child and the gifts are balanced for the Family. Any family or child that has not been adopted out will also need to be shopped for and organized. This is a large effort by a lot of volenteers to make sure every thing is ready for the big wrap.

Who are we We are a 100% volunteer organization taking care of
underprivileged children during the holiday season.
The Lake Cities Spirit of Christmas is an independent, non-profit organization qualified by the IRS.
There are many ways in which you can help us provide for the children.
With the help of local churches and a canned food drive at the local schools, Thanksgiving meals are provided for the families.
Volunteers wrapped over 3,000 gifts (in one evening) and food for the workers was provided by many businesses throughout the community.
Each child received 2 sets of clothing, underwear, socks, shoes, jacket and 2-3 gifts.
