If you think now is a tough time to be in business, try being a kid

Our children today are caught in a perfect storm of inopportunity. Schools nationwide are slashing programs and services—while the community organizations that have traditionally picked up the slack are beset with the same economic challenges that have brought whole industries to the brink of collapse.

The truth is, it’s never easy being a non-profit. These days it’s downright daunting, especially for those community organizations dedicated to the protection and development of our children.

When a local youth agency fails, there are no severance packages.
No bonuses. No second chances. Just scores of children with one less haven to turn to during non-school hours. We cannot let this happen. We cannot let children slide so far down our list of societal priorities.

For what good is a growing, stimulated economy if it leaves millions of children behind?

Sure, money helps. But real solutions come in many forms.
Time. Compassion. Generosity.

Some merely require a person just like you to stand up and say “Failure is not an option. Not here. Not in my community. Not with my kids.”

Will you be that person?
Will you be the one to give those children a voice?
Be a champion for our Kids!
