Thank you for joining us for An Extra Special Christmas Night! Funds raised through this event stay right here in the Ozarks to help thousands of children and families. Silver Dollar City Foundation helps meet the physical needs of students, whether that's a warm coat and shoes that fit, to helping families overcome bigger challenges, such as rent or utility assistance, or even medical, vision or dental needs for kids. In addition, we work with the 14 area school districts that serve Stone and Taney county students to meet community needs ranging from affordable preschool, parental engagement to much more. Your support ensures that we are be able to continue to meet the needs of children and families.
