These Kids are Too Cool! Watch them Show off Their Skills to Coaches, Parents, and Friends at the Mid-Scholarship Exhibition.
On Friday, October 26th Good for Kids held it's second Mid-Scholarship Exhibition in San Francisco. 40 guests had the opportunity to hear from each scholarship recipient and their coach, regarding what they had accomplished so far and what they hope to master when the coaching scholarship ends. Art students, Jenny and Darron displayed some of their artwork while sports stars Ruth, Quiante, Andrew and Javon showed off their athletic skills in tennis, soccer and BMX biking respectively. A great time was had by all, as we shared not only a delicious feast and good conversation, but also the excitement of seeing our scholarship recipients realize their artistic and athletic potential. Thanks to everyone for making the evening a success!
