PHILADELPHIA, PA (September 16, 2020) — The Kids-N-Hope Foundation (“The Foundation”) raised over $67,000 during its first Labor of Love Virtual Ride or Stride event. The event is the Foundation’s first virtual fundraising opportunity to continue supporting its beneficiaries at local hospitals and not-for-profit organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The seven-day virtual event invited riders and striders to walk or bike a pre-selected distance or course throughout the week while fundraising as individuals or a team.  Three additional fundraising events were held on America Heritage Credit Union’s campus prior to the week and included a Bike Tune Up Event, A Penny A Step Walk, and a Three-mile Bike Out.

“The Labor of Love was a great success and has paved the way for our future virtual events,” stated Brue K. Foulke, Founder and Chairman of the Kids-N-Hope Foundation. “Though the way our fundraising has changed, the need for pediatric healthcare funding and programming is greater than ever. Kids-N-Hope’s Labor of Love and our upcoming virtual fundraising opportunities will help us continue our mission and positively impact child life services, even during unprecedented times like these.”
