Because....
1. It will be fun
2. It will get you out of the house, and
3. It will help raise funds for kids to get out of foster care!
Working for Kidsave, I see firsthand the tears of joy when children finally have a stable, commited family they know, trust and love -- a family that will guide, support and walk with them through thick and thin, give them confidence and stability and the love and support they need to reach their potential.
Kidsave has hundreds of stories of kids gaining the chance at a a real future by having that caring family or connection to a dedicated person in their life. Have a look here: https://www.kidsave.org/topics/kidsave-stories.
Kidsave is a registered 501(c)(3) non profit and 100% of the funds raised by this hike will go straight to programs that shine a light on forgotten kids, showing how wise, unique, resilient and full of potential they are.
Through Kidsave's programs, kids form meaningful, trusting and lasting connections with adults who commit to being there for them, no matter what. And the children have a voice and a choice in who they connect with.
In 2020, Kidsave's family visit model was awarded an "Entreps" award for oustanding initiatives, successful policies, and sustainable develoment under the United Nation's 17 sustainable development goals.
I hope you will join the Hiking Baracudas and help kids! Thanks very much,
Bonnie
