Valencia, California - December 26, 2003 - Emergency Ambulance Service, Inc. (Emergency) joined a host of social service professionals, as well as government and fire service representatives, in offering a free day inside Six Flags Magic Mountain for some 500 foster kids and their caretakers.
The event, which was sponsored by Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich and held in conjunction with the Department of Children and Family Services, is organized on an annual basis.
As part of the event, Emergency distributed T-shirts to participants and assisted with the logistics of providing gifts and food to the participants. In addition, Emergency’s staff members gave children tours of the ambulance and answered questions.
"We are well aware that children are very important assets to our community,” said Emergency’s President Phil Davis. “Our company is proud to continue its work to outreach children through a variety of community events.”
"The holiday season can be difficult for these children and this party will really brighten their spirits - but we really need families to adopt and provide loving homes for these wonderful children," noted Supervisor Antonovich in a previous press release.
Other sponsors include Xerox, Inc., Newhall Farming, Unisys Corporation, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department who collected the toys through their "Spark of Love" toy drive.
