On February 22, REACH participated and volunteered at the annual Lunar New Year Festival. This year, both the parade and the festival were held by our sponsor, the Orlando Fashion Square Mall. This spectacular parade was followed by a 5-hour festival at the Orlando Fashion Square lobby stage, complete with cultural dances and exhibitions. There were lots of spectacular performances, yummy food, and cultural arts. REACH had a blast fundraising by selling fish balls and sesame balls and having the opportunity to be in the parade. For pictures, click here.
During this year's toy drive, REACH was able to bless many underprivileged kids. With Cypress Creek High, University High, and Winter Park High all working to get many donations, we collected over four hundred toys!
On December 20, REACH helped Frontline Outreach Youth and Family Center (a premier early childhood education center in Orlando or urban youth) to pass out toys and serve meals to underprivileged children. It was their first time working with Frontline, and they had a great experience. Click here for some pictures of the event, and here for a summary of the event.
