Big Fun Boxes on the move this summer!

Due to recent generous donations, 1,500 Big Fun Boxes will be shipping to hospitalized children around the country. Thank you Rotaract of Florida's First Coast, Boomer Esiason Foundation, The Sumar Foundation and individual donors for helping us move our vision forward and fulfill our mission. 

 

For those of you in the Jacksonville area, be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities as soon as the dates for stuffing these Big Fun Boxes are determined.

 

Additionally, we are the proud winners of $1,000 from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation of Florida from their recent 'Pursuit' contest and $1,000 from Community First Credit Union stemming from their 'Investing in You' contest.

Happy Birthday to Kayla Anderson! In lieu of gifts for her 13th birthday, Kayla requested that friends and family instead donate to The Big Fun Foundation. Pictured below with her gifts, Kayla raised enough money to donate 10 boxes to Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital in Jacksonville. 

Thank you Kayla and way to go!
