THE SANTA BARBARA FORESTERS ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE "HUGS FOR CUBS" PROGRAM. THIS IS A SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AFFLICTED WITH CANCER. WE VISIT THE CHILDREN IN THE HOSPITAL IN BOTH SANTA BARBARA AND WICHITA AND SPONSOR A BASEBALL CLINIC FREE FOR THE CHILDREN EVERY SUMMER. WE ALSO TAKE THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES TO PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL GAMES, WHALE WATCHING TRIPS, AND OTHER OUTINGS. WE ASSIST THE FAMILIES IN ANY TRANSPORTATION NEEDS THEY MAY HAVE. THESE ACTIVITIES ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT ONE THIRD OF OUR TIME.
