For the fourth year in a row, ABC Kids Expo has donated funds to the Kids In Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.) charity in an effort to aid military families and others in need. In addition to the $150,000 grant, ABC also assists K.I.D.S. in collecting inventory left by exhibitors at the end of the show, which is then donated to local families.

“We are so grateful to ABC for their ongoing support of children and families in need,” said K.I.D.S. board chairman Peter Rosenthal. “K.I.D.S. provides an opportunity for the industry to ‘Give Back in Brand New Ways,’ as we say.”

K.I.D.S. has also formed a new partnership with Communities in Schools to help support programs that keep students from dropping out of school early. Initially, efforts will focus on the Las Vegas area. For more information, visit www.kidsdonations.org.
