Gifts That Give Hope 2016
The Arlington's Alternative Gift Fair organized by Gifts That Give Hope is a very innovative way of raising funds for your foundation while educating your kids about world's problems and charitable giving. The event took place on December 10, 2016, 10AM - 2PM at Discovery Elementary School in Arlington.
A lot of families attended and educated their kids about being charitable. A truly meaningful and lovely event.
You probably heard from many people "I do not need anything for Christmas." How about giving the gift of hope to a kid battling cancer in honor of someone who does not need anything?
1. Donate a gift of hope for a kid fighting cancer.
2. Dedicate a personalized card to someone you love.
You can shop online or you can stop by at the Chris Lantos Foundation table at the Gifts That Give Hope: Arlington's Alternative Gift Fair, a family friendly live event.

Smoothiefest 2013
Chris Lantos was a 12-year-old boy who fell in love with the strawberries-banana smoothie right from the day Red Mango opened in Clarendon, VA. He was one of the first customers and received a memorable t-shirt. Before Chris died, he began dreaming about a “Smoothie Fest”, where people drink smoothies to raise money for children fighting cancer. He even started to design a t-shirt for this event, which he could not finish.In memory of Chris' 13th birthday, the Chris Lantos Foundation and Red Mango collaborated on this event, which took place on September 30, 2013. About 400 people attended including many of his doctors, nurses, teachers, friends, classmates and boy scouts.
