To Our Applicants,
This year was very tough as we read your stories, and continued to reflect on the impact of COVID, particularly on our 3L children. There is nothing more we would rather do than help every child that you are fighting for, and we are more dedicated to this mission than ever. Our dream is to be able to do this for each and every one of you, and will continue to work towards our goal of impacting 25 MILLION by 2025. To each one of your who submitted proposals this year, we were truly inspired by the level of passion and hard work you put into this project for your kids and we will be announcing runner up prizes Wednesday November 11th!! The announcement will be made here on our website 2pm Wednesday. We are so thankful to have the opportunity to work with heroes like YOU, who change children's lives everyday.
