ART of the Matter: Through the LensEvent Postponed
BEST Kids is excited to host our annual Art of the Matter event. This year's theme is "Through The Lens." We are excited to showcase our BEST Kids documentary, The ME in Mentoring, telling the lived stories of the youth we serve and the impact BEST Kids has on their lives. Also, join us in watching "Short Term 12," an award-winning movie that shares glimpses of common realities youth in foster care and the adults who work alongside them often experience. Make sure to join us after the show for our afterparty for drinks, hors d'oeuvres and desserts. |

Superhero 5K & Fun RunWe are looking forward to hosting our 9th Annual Superhero 5K & Fun Run on May 1st, 2021 at Hains Point, as we kick off National Foster Care Month. This family-friendly fundraising event celebrates the everyday superheroes that make a positive impact in the lives of DC's youth in foster care.
Given the uncertainty we're facing, we have decided to continue offering a virtual race option this year that includes some added technology that will make your participation a bit more interactive and easy. Between May 1st and 31st we are asking our supporters from all over the world to get out and run, walk, cycle or jog in solidarity with the BEST Kids team and the youth we serve. |
