The quartet performed Christmas carols for an early Thanksgiving dinner for 22 families with about 40 children at Banneker Elementary School in Kansas City, Kan. Volunteers served a dinner of pan-fried chicken and fixin's donated by Strouds Restaurants as Swing Shift sang its holiday package.
Then the youngsters moved to the next room, where Santa Claus awaited to hear their Christmas wishes. To help fulfill those wishes, families went home that night with Thanksgiving dinner food boxes as well as winter coats, hats and gloves. HOA's Ted Simon and Tony O'Brien delivered a donation of 20 new bicycles provided by Walmart.
Initiated by former WDAF-TV 4 anchor Cynthia Smith, the Fox4 Love Fund is dedicated to fulfilling unmet needs of children in the Kansas City area. The non-profit organization helps provide therapeutic tools, medical equipment, eye exams, clothing, shoes, bedding and other needed items.
