About American Heroes
Our main focus is for each participating American Hero to become greater in their lives by helping kids less fortunate; the ones that are in need of expensive medical treatment, suffering from ailments, and those not receiving the proper care. Through fundraising events, we plan to increase awareness for our cause and gain more active team members. We send proceeds to organizations that focus on pediatric care, much like St Judes and Shriners Hospital.
The fundraising events will have various themes, activities, and focuses to keep the attendees engaged and having fun while keeping to the main goal of helping kids who need it the most!
Thank you for participating in our November 16th kickoff event in Palos Park!
Thanks to all those who attended, volunteered for, and donated to the event! It was a great success! We are beginning plans for our next event and would like to get those of you excited about it! Our intention for this event was to raise awareness for the philanthropic need of children that are less fortunate health-wise. Activities included kids designing their own superhero masks/capes, interactive games, educational discussions, and both an adult and children's raffle!
Why Your Children Should Be Involved in Nonprofit Work
Within the world of nonprofit work, there are countless organizations dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of children in need. For support to continue, it is crucial to reach out to younger generations and encourage them to embrace philanthropy. Even the smallest children have an innate ability to empathize with others, and exposing them to nonprofit fundraising helps them absorb values such as honesty, respect, integrity, transparency, and responsibility. These skills not only inspire children to give back but provide them with the tools to grow into successful and caring adults!
