GINO GRASSO MEMORIAL KIDS OF THE KINGDOM PICNIC

​June 2023
Dear Friends,
The date is set for our annual fundraising event for our Kids of the Kingdom Summer Program. The kids in our community need this program in order to have a safe, fun filled summer. For 3 weeks in July, we provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, field trips, transportation and more during this FREE summer camp. Along with some of our teachers, volunteers from area colleges and high schools assist our campers.
Every year we hold 1 fundraising event to help us offset the cost of the Kids of the Kingdom (KOK) Summer Program. It’s bittersweet in that our dear friend, Gino Grasso, who founded the KOK Fundraiser is no longer with us. Gino wanted to make sure that our summer program was sufficiently financed to provide the necessary resources to ensure its success.
That’s what our KOK Fundraiser is meant to do!! Please remember that St. Luke’s is not affiliated with the Diocese, and receives no government assistance. We rely solely on the generosity and kindness received from the public.
We are excited to announce that the Gino Grasso Memorial Kids of the Kingdom Picnic will be held on
August 12, 2023 3 PM – 7 PM

The KOK Fundraising Committee
