your latest idea

…your commute
was on a tricycle?

…you had superheroes who made
all the difference in your life?

But not every child today has
someone to look up to.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. These are fond memories. And experiences that shaped who you are. Unfortunately, today, there are many kids who don’t have these types of experiences. Their circumstances are preventing them from having a full childhood. They are forced to deal with grown-up issues. Poverty. Hunger. Health issues. Family issues. Crime and violence. Too often, kids are forced to grow up too fast.

  3. That’s the power of Day for Kids. This one day brings togethermillions of people to raise millionsof dollars to help millions of kids grow up to a great future.They need us. And we need you. Join us in changing kids’ childhood, to transform their futures.
  4. So what is Day for Kids?
  5. It’s a national event that lets adults be kids again, while pledging to give kids back their childhood
  6. WE’RE CALLING ALL ADULTS through a nationwide field day, to experience the memories of childhood benefit the kids in their community. The concept is simple: adults pledge to play (and fundraise) in field day events across the country in honor of a child in their life. The dollars they raise help support kids in their local community and in areas of need nationally.
