Area foster kids and their families are invited to a special event in St. Joseph County this week.

Foster the Fun is the first project for The Keystone Club, which is a leadership group of teens from the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County.

The event was created as an opportunity for kids to connect with a night of music, dancing, food, games and prizes.

The free event will be held on Friday, April 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the O.C. Carmichael Jr. Youth Center on Sample Street in South Bend.

Kids ages nine to 18 who are in foster care are welcome to attend, along with their families.

Masks are required and COVID safety precautions will be in place.
