In 1999, Rainey Lomolino, a nine-year-old Tracy girl concerned about the homeless, borrowed an idea from her cousin to raise money for the McHenry House Tracy Family Shelter. Sponsored by individuals, businesses, friends and organizations, Rainey, along with her family and friends, lived in a cardboard box for 24 hours at Lincoln Park and raised over $9000.00! That’s how Tracy’s Kids in a Box began! The 10th annual Kids in a Box (KIB) will be September 25th from 4 p.m. through 8 a.m. September 26th, 2009 at St. Bernard’s School in Tracy. • Each participant needs to collect a minimum of $50 to attend KIB • 100% of all KIB proceeds go to our Tracy family shelter, McHenry House • Prizes for the two individuals who bring in the highest money totals • Prizes for the three best decorated boxes (shelters) • One chaperone (21 yrs. or older) is required for every 10 participants in a group Our goal is to raise $40,000 this year for McHenry House. More and more families are experiencing financial hardships and loss of housing. They turn to McHenry House for help until they can become self-sufficient. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
