Your Gift to Kidpower Will Be Doubled
through December 31st
Please help us to give every family in our community the opportunity to learn Kidpower skills to keep their children SAFE from bullying, abuse, abduction, and other violence.
We are proud to be part of the Santa Cruz Gives campaign. We have a generous donor who is matching ALL year-end gifts to Kidpower, so although the Challenge Grant field will say 0, every dollar given will be doubled!
This means that your gift in any amount will be doubled.
The funds raised will make it possible for Kidpower to keep reaching out to families, schools, and organizations in every part of Santa Cruz County with skills for a lifetime of safety and confidence.
As Santa Cruz mom Heather Ward wrote to us recently, “At the end of the workshop, I had to leave the room for tears of joy running down my face that I had finally found a non-scary way to teach my kids to protect themselves. But Kidpower does way more than that; it teaches ‘People Safety’ skills, and that applies to many levels of interaction with humans. So, in short, Kidpower has changed my life and my family’s life in a powerful, profound way.”
Please donate today. This is a great opportunity for donors of all ages and walks of life since the campaign welcomes gifts as small as $1 – and every dollar will be doubled by our matching donor!
