What an amazing evening. 

On September 22, 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic,  we hosted a virtual exercise class, led by one of the premier trainers in the DMV, Jennifer Blackburn.  Forty five minutes of heart pumping exercise was preceded by a presentation from two former foster youth who have aged out of the child welfare system but were the beneficiaries of assistance from 4Montgomery’s Kids.  One of the speakers who just graduated from medical school discussed how she was able to concentrate on taking her medical exams knowing that we were there to help her out.  The other speaker told us how she was able to get to school and her job when we helped pay for her parking and her car repairs. 

We never imagined that with all the chaos in the world our donors, new and old, would come together to make this one of our most successful fundraisers ever.  More than 80 people took part in this virtual event.  It is not too late to do even more!!

Donor Spotlight: Gail Maidenbaum

As a Montgomery County mother and a Montgomery County employer, Gail Maidenbaum feels a dual obligation to the foster kids in our county. Her belief is that “we have to take care of our own” and these kids are the responsibility of all county residents and companies. She realizes that these kids are at school with the rest of the county children, but they lack what many of the other students take for granted. The ability to have a laptop, a Metro card to go to work, to take a ballet class, to go to summer camp – these opportunities should be available to all “our kids”. That’s why she has chosen to give back to her county by generously supporting 4Montgomery’s Kids.
