Foxfield Family Day Raises Money for Computers for Kids

Posted: Updated:

A day of family fun at the horse races is helping a Charlottesville nonprofit. Kids of all ages headed to Foxfield's Fall Family Day Sunday.

Parents and children watched the horse races, got to play in the bounce houses, get their faces painted, and even ride ponies.

Proceeds will go to Computers for Kids, a nonprofit that provides computer access, training and mentoring to young people in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
