We believe children have a right to grow up in families where they feel loved, safe and secure - where smiles and laughter are a part of everyday life.
However over hundreds, perhaps thousands of children in our very own community will not experience the joys of family life. For these children, neglect, physical, emotional or sexual abuse will be a reality. These children and youth are more likely to suffer from low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence and experience difficulties in establishing relationships with others.
The power that is given to our children and youth through our programs - by knowing that someone believes in them, even if it can't be their own parents, gives them wind beneath their wings and the courage to believe in themselves to create a different life for themselves and their future families.
What the Champions For Children Foundation is able to accomplish, through the generosity of sponsors and donors and events such as these, is similar to a drop of water falling into a large pond that causes a ripple effect, which in turn affects many more lives in such a profound way.
We are truly proud of what positive life altering changes have been created and how we all have contributed to many lives we will not even know about.
