Dreams For Kids 10 Campaign: Helping A Nonprofit Create Leaders
From October 1, 2010 through October 10, 2010 Dreams for Kids will be running a special online event, the “10 Campaign”
Dreams for Kids empowers at-risk youth and those with disabilities in a leadership curriculum which unites them to their peers and provides them with the tools they need to be active members of their own communities and help solve the world’s most pressing issues.
During the 10 Campaign Dreams for Kids will be raising money to send children to leadership conferences. These conferences are unique because in addition to instilling leadership principles and training the children will create a shift in their own lives by creating social change in their own communities. As part of their leadership training the kids will create fundraising campaigns so instead of just receiving charity they get to be the change in the lives of others. After the initial fundraisers Dreams For Kids will provide ongoing support for future fundraisers and service projects that the leadership conference graduates want to create.
$50 of support sends one child to a leadership conference.
WHAT IS THE 10 CAMPAIGN? HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We would love your support and want to make it as easy as possible for you to help (and to spread the word to a few friends). Here’s what you can do:
Ask 10 of your friends to donate $10 between October 1st and October 10th. This can be done any way you’d like: via texting, Twitter, Facebook, email, blogging and more. You can do it all in one day or you can ask one friend to donate $10 for each of the 10 days.
TEXTING:
Companies and individuals will be serving their communities and asking for 10 people to each pledge $10 by texting DREAMS to 85944 on their mobile phones.
