About Kidsave
You can be a voice for change, and help make miracles happen for kids who need families! Please join us on Saturday, May 12, 2007 for Kidsave’s MiracleWalk - to raise funds for the Atlanta Summer Miracles program. Our goal is to bring 10 orphaned children to Atlanta this summer and help them find permanent families! Millions of older children around the world are growing up in orphanages and foster care. That’s not okay. Kidsave exists to change that.

Kidsave is a 501(c)(3) public charity that believes every child needs a family. As a global voice for change, Kidsave shows communities worldwide how to get older, overlooked children out of government orphanages and foster care and into permanent loving families. Kidsave’s programs shine a light on forgotten children who wouldn’t otherwise have a chance for a family. Kidsave’s programs demonstrate that there is a family for almost every child. When people meet these older, overlooked children, miracles happen. Many people fall in love and adopt; others advocate until the child finds a permanent family. Because of Kidsave’s programs, more than 2,000 children now have families, hope and love.

Online Fundraising
Teams and individuals can raise money online by creating a personalized fundraising page on the Kidsave website www.kidsave.org.

Team Level
All teams should set a goal of raising at least $2,500. Remember, the focus of the walk is to raise funds to support Kidsave's programs and services. So please set a goal that you and your team members can reach and be proud of.
