North Texas Giving Day: September 21, 2023
Find Your Passion. Give with Purpose.
(...and DREAM BIG: Our goal: $30,000!)
Regardless of where you live, we invite you to participate in the upcoming North Texas Giving Day. This is a day of giving set aside for North Texas non-profit organizations like KiDs Beach Club® to raise funds.
Our theme this year is Cultivating Character. Everything KBC does involves teaching Biblical character to preteens. George Barna, in his book Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions, explains that “if you want to shape a person’s life, it is during the ages of five and 12 that lifelong habits, values, beliefs and attitudes are formed.” We must reach kids when they are most open, and that is during the preteen years.
From our very beginning roots, Beach Clubs® have taught character through the lens of the Bible. Now through our global television show, KiDs on Character Radio, and even through our secular curriculum CharacterLeads®,we are cultivating character in preteens.
In faith, we've set a big goal this year: $30,000! Thankfully, we serve a big God!
Imagine this: We currently have 525 registered Club volunteers this year.
What if each of these volunteers gave just $20? We would already be at a third of our goal!
Early giving is already open, and we've made it super easy, to give!
From your mobile device, text: NTXGD to 91999!
