Board of Directors

Monday, 02 June 2008 00:00

Our Board of Directors is a dynamic mix of entrepreneurial business and entertainment leaders who believe in the fundamental importance of positive learning opportunities for youth.

The Directors put effort into this initiative because they know that a small financial contribution is sometimes just the hand-up a kid needs. They have all reached the point where they have the ability to make a difference and are taking direct action to do so.

The Board meets four times a year to review applications and disperse the funds raised during that quarter. We have a commitment to minimize bureaucracy, both to keep administration costs low and to prevent our process from becoming too complicated for disadvantaged children and their parents to access a grant.
