Christmas should be cherished by all children, and it is our mission to reach as many children as possible by exceeding the number of children and families we touch each year.
Tampa, Fla. (PRWEB) December 26, 2014
Since 1998, Ker’s WingHouse Bar & Grill has made the holidays for underprivileged children and families a joyous occasion. Out of NFL alumnus and WingHouse CEO, Crawford Ker’s sincere desire to support the community, “Ker’s Christmas” was created, and this year’s event will be bigger than ever before.
Ker’s WingHouse will be providing a Christmas meal and toys for children and families of the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, BabyCycle, Homeless Emergency Project and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pinellas County. To top it off, an appearance by Santa Claus will hallmark this experience as truly a memorable Christmas for each and every child in attendance.
The event will take place from 11 – 2 p.m. on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, 2014 at the Ker’s WingHouse of Clearwater: 2640 Gulf to Bay Blvd., Clearwater, Fla. 33759.
Helping to make this event possible are the many generous WingHouse Girls; serving their community by volunteering to spend their Christmas day serving free meals and handing out toys at the event. “Spending my Christmas unselfishly by helping others is truly a gift, as well as being able to bring joy to these families,” says WingHouse Girl and Ker’s Christmas volunteer, Samantha Morris.
“Last year's Ker's Christmas was awesome! Like this year, I have absolutely no resources for buying my children any gifts for Christmas. I was blown away by the service, the organization, and the gifts! No one left empty handed and as a matter of fact, most people left with more than they could carry! It was an amazing blessing. My kids won a bike and small TV. My children were happy and that's all that matters to me. Our family was really blessed by the Ker's Christmas and the children are looking forward to it again this year,” says 39-year-old Isoke Jacobs, mother of five in Clearwater, Fla.
“Christmas should be cherished by all children, and it is our mission to reach as many children as possible by exceeding the number of children and families we touch each year. This year is our largest yet, and we are extremely grateful for the community’s support in this endeavor. We are excited to spread some holiday cheer,” says Ker.
