The arrival of the main events for our 14th Annual
Jesters Care for Kids Charity Drive is only 87 days away! Our first event,
the Children’s Fair, is on Sunday, September 11th at the Diana Garden
Resort, where it has been for the last 10 years. The second event, our Gala
Party Night, will be at a new venue, the Amari Orchid Pattaya, two weeks
after our fair on Saturday, September 24th.
In the meantime, there are several ways you can help us
care for the kids in need this year:

important, source of funds for our projects. There are 6 levels:

handicrafts, etc., for our Auction. You can make bids on the latter by going
