Our goal was to contact a million kids this year if we could. We succeeded in contacting almost 700,000 kids at just under 500 different events. Funding - All funds come from donations from sponsors and individual donors who desire to see the Goals of the Program met. Several of the officers have trading cards printed. These have proved to be great items to present to the kids to remind them about the principles of the program.
Funding is needed for just about everything.
We need pamphlets, pictures, trading cards, t-shirts, caps and any other items that we can hand out to the kids. All the officers that participated in these events volunteered to do so knowing there were NO monetary prizes. They participated at their own expense just to try to make a real difference for the kids. The members of the program contacted over 245,000 young people in 1995 delivering our educational message. In 1996, we worked with over 300,000 kids.
