Marci Caputo speaks at a Girls Night Out event, hosted by "Cathy Anna Mayer Encouraging Others" (CAMEO). Caputo is one of the founders. The charity raised $29,000 for another charitable organization, Bridge the Gap. It helps children in foster care pay for clothing, toiletries, sports and more.

Imagine being in the seventh-grade, and starting school without new clothes, school supplies or even basic hygiene products. Although this may sound like a bad dream, it’s a reality for thousands of foster kids who are literally whisked away on a moment’s notice, unable to pack more than a few basic items.

This is where Bridge the Gap comes in.
