January 21, 2026 – Bucks for Kids Board is (once again!) deeply grateful to the Financial Group of Philadelphia (office in Yardley) for inviting Bucks for Kids to their annual Holiday Party at the Buck Hotel. The spirit of giving was in the air! The company and their clients had collected $5,000 worth of $25 gift cards for Bucks County C & Y social workers to use for their young clients during the holiday season and beyond. Several of the evening’s attendees also gave us cash. The dinner, company and entertainment were awesome!
