Your Donations in Action:

When you do a kindness for someone that’s unexpected, whether it is big or small, it does change the course of things. And they’ll either go home with a heart that’s been lifted, or pay it forward and show kindness in a different way. It spreads that way and is so powerful. The Foundation understands the importance of public education and how it impacts the whole community.
