Hey guys my name is Jerick, I'm with
Roasters Coffee. We're here at road 68 to
talk to Steve with Royal Family Kids
about our community giving day. Let's go
talk to Steve.
We've actually been doing
this for a while right Steve? Yeah this
is the fifth year that you guys have
worked with us to support Royal Family
Kids, it's been great. It's great we love
working with you at Roasters a lot of
people they know Roasters they know that we support Royal Family Kids in the last
five years. Tell us a little bit about
Royal Family Kids what do you guys do
what's the mission.
Well Royal Family Kids is a summer camp
and a school year mentor program for
kids in foster care ages six to eleven.
And so in August we're going to be going
to camp with it's about seventy plus
kids and ninety adults. These kids are
the ones that normally don't get to go
to camp because of their abuse or
neglect and medications and so this is a
chance for them all to get to go to camp
and it's at no cost to state of
Washington or the foster parents. We do
it all free. How many kids you guys
have coming this year. We're gonna
have 72-73 kids registered and when we
get to camp these kids they need
structure and so we have all kinds of
activities. We have swimming, and archery, 
and rock climbing, and one thing we do
that's really special we do everybody's
birthday party. Because some of these
kids get moved around so much their
birthdays get lost in the shuffle. And so
every Wednesday camp it's everybody's
birthday and these kids really take it
serious it's their birthday and we give
them birthday gifts. We have a group
that comes up from the tri-cities and
does bounce houses and we do a carnival
with popcorn and the whole bit you know so,
it's really exciting the kids they just
love it they look forward to it. Well
if anybody wants to help and donate to the
cause of Royal Family Kids you know where can they go? Yea, we have
a website pasco.royalfamilykids.org
And you can get there if you want
to or you can just get a hold of us
anytime
we're on email pasco.royalfamilykids@gmail.com
pasco.royalfamilykids@gmail.com and let us know if
you'd like to help and we'd love to have
anybody that they can.
You mentioned this is the most kids that you've ever signed.
it is, it is. It's awesome and we actually
had more counselors sign up this year which
is awesome thing and because for every two kids we do one
counselor so we need lots of counselors.
Yeah. And so this year we had in excess
and so we decided to take more kids.
Almost $3,400 going towards Royal Family Kids.
for our community giving day, so we're
really proud we're happy that kids
get a chance to go and experience
something that they don't experience
very often. Well we love Roasters and we
appreciate all you guys do for our
community giving back like this. It's a
big thing for us and we support Roasters
and you guys have supported us for the
last five years and it's a great union
of two organization that I think so we
appreciate it. We look forward working with you next year!
Alright, great thank you!
