Local foster children had some summer fun recently thanks to a donation from the Kiwanis Club of Orange.

The group donated $550 to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) for the summer celebration that included waterslides, a bounce house, and food. Kiwanians were also on hand to help cook hot dogs and links and serve refreshments.

Nearly 70 foster children attended the fun day and many received gifts of dolls, action figures, board games, sports equipment and gift cards. Twenty children received tricycles purchased by participants of the 2015 “Christmas in July” Adult Tricycle Racing Tournament that was coordinated by the American Legion Post 49. All the children also received backpacks filled with school supplies.
