Why We Hike
Over 365,000 kids in the U.S. and 8 million worldwide are in foster care programs and orphanages—without the love and stability of a permanent family or a mentor looking out for them. So lace up, grab a water bottle and sign up to hike with us today! Join us to raise funds and reach our team fundraising goal to support Kidsave's life-changing programs.
The Ripple Effect of Every Dollar
Every gift has the power to create lasting connections.
- In Weekend Miracles, teens in foster care meet caring adults each month at fun, kid-centered events. That’s how Luna met Sydney and Stuart, and the three became a forever family.
- In Summer Miracles, kids from Colombia come for 5 weeks in the summer or 3 weeks in the winter when no families can be found in their own country. That’s how Sebastian met the Barkey family. A simple visit led to a permanent home filled with love and belonging.
Luna and Sebastian’s stories remind us that resilience, hope, and love can transcend backgrounds, borders, and language.
Help us create moments like these for more kids in the U.S. and around the world.
