Our journey for this project began in December of 2012. We saw the opportunity to challenge ourselves and others to make a real difference in the lives of the innocent. Our intent was to choose a charity which truly worked for the benefit of children. It didn’t take long to choose Save the Children. This organization works diligently to help children through every possible avenue beginning at birth. From health and nutrition to education and beyond, Save the Children is a clear and consistent work advocate. We were staggered by the statistic that nearly 1 in 4 children in the United States live in poverty and goes without critical things such as healthy foods and safe places
to live and play.
