The Moonee Valley Racecourse was once again transformed into a Christmas wonderland for Baptcare’s Annual Children Christmas Party on December 3, 2009.
The party provided an afternoon full of fun for over 400 children, parents and carers who are involved with foster care, have a disability and/or who are at risk of family breakdown. The excitement on the faces of the children along with the messages of appreciation from both parents and caregivers was invaluable.
On the day, children were entertained with an animal farm, pony rides, a jumping castle, arts and crafts activities, face painting, games, show bags, cakes, face painting, hair spray, a band, roving entertainment and a BBQ. The highlight of the day was a visit from Santa, who arrived with in a SES vehicle with show bags full of donated goodies and provided a listening ear for those last minute Christmas wishes.
Baptcare would like to say a special thank you to all our supporters, both local and national, whose generosity helped to ensure the success of the day.
