🇺🇸 What the Day Is About
Heroes & Hoppiness is designed to honor Military children and families—their strength, sacrifice, and service—while also uplifting foster youth and foster families who deserve to feel celebrated, supported, and included by their community. The heart of the event is simple: every child in East Texas deserves joy, belonging, and a place to be seen.

🐣 Morning: Military Family Egg Hunts
The first half of the day is dedicated to Military families.
Egg hunts will be grouped by age so every child can enjoy a safe, fun experience:
• Ages 2–5
• Ages 6–9
• Ages 9–12

Each group will have its own scheduled time, with short breaks in between for resetting the space and keeping things organized and welcoming.

💛 Afternoon: Foster Family Call‑to‑Action & Egg Hunts
In the second half of the day, the community comes together to support East Texas foster initiatives.
Foster families and children will join in for their own age‑grouped egg hunts, mirroring the same joyful experience offered to Military kids.
This portion of the event highlights a shared mission: standing up for children who face instability and showing them that their community cares.
