Thank you to all of our generous listeners and to Kapco's business partners for their tremendous showing of support at Kapco's Kids 2 Kids Christmas event held on December 15, 2007. There were 5,231 toys collected by Kapco Metal Stampings and Fabrications that will be distributed through The Salvation Army to help less fortunate children have a very Merry Christmas!
Everyone enjoyed Christmas carolers, photos with live reindeer, campfire smores from the local cub scouts, hot dogs, refreshments and the Christmas cheer that comes with giving!

Another room at Kapco filled to the brim with toys!

Approximately 30 members of the area police and fire departments made a grand entrance and brought lots of toys with them
to help children through the 2007 Kids 2 Kids Christmas campaign.

Police and fire officials wait their turn to get in to Kapco's offices to drop off their toys.

The local Boy Scout troop prepared s'mores for all guests who attended Kapco's Kids 2 Kids Christmas event!
