For the Kid in All of Us was founded in 2003 by current 6th District Atlanta City Councilman Alex Wan and a group of friends seeking to make a difference in their local community. Recognizing the staggering number of under-privileged children in Atlanta and Georgia, the group sought not only to raise awareness of the growing problem, but also to lessen their struggles during the year.What initially resulted from their efforts and vision was The Toy Party, an annual toy drive event where thousands of Atlantans come together to support a cause that affects the entire metropolitan area. The first edition of The Toy Party was essentially a house party; fast forward 11 years and it has become the hottest holiday party with a purpose for Atlanta's LGBT and LGBT-friendly community. In 4 short hours on a Sunday evening in December, guests attend this event dressed up and dressed down, coming to share and experience the love that our "community" has for children, for giving, for philanthropy, and for mankind. In 2006, the group expanded its scope and added a second annual event, Backpack in the Park, to collect backpacks and school supplies. In 2013, their reach was increased even further with its newest effort, 100 Kids to Camp, sending children to developmental summer camp. Since 2003, For the Kid in All of Us has collected more than 38,000 toys and gift cards through The Toy Party, 12,500 backpacks filled with school supplies and gift cards through Backpack in the Park, and raised $474,000 to donate to selected beneficiaries serving Georgia's less fortunate.For the Kid in All of Us is a 100% volunteer organization, incorporated in the State of Georgia, recognized by the US Internal Revenue Service as a not-for-profit, public charity under Section 501(c)(3).
