For nearly 20 years, the Overland Park Rotary has partnered with our KidsTLC residential program to create one of the most heartfelt days of the year. 💛🎁
 
Hosted by our friends at the Overland Park Walmart, each Rotarian pairs up with one of our 70 residential clients (plus a KidsTLC staff member!) for a mission that’s equal parts joyful and educational: shopping for a gift for someone special in the child’s life.
 
Before the big day, kids brainstorm who matters to them most — a family member, a mentor, a therapist, even a beloved pet waiting at home — and make a list of gift ideas.
 
Then comes the fun:
🛒 budgeting their funds
🎯 choosing the perfect present
🎀 picking out wrapping paper
🤝 and wrapping everything together in Walmart’s breakroom, generously offered by their team.
 
This event teaches so much more than giving.
 
It’s an exercise in gratitude, decision-making, budgeting, and celebrating the people who support our kids on and off campus — whether they walk on two legs or four.
Thank you to Overland Park Rotary and Walmart for helping our kids learn, give, and shine.
