Celebrating the Achievements of
ChildrenTM
|
Congratulations to Miss Katie Stagliano, age 10; winner of the first-ever Amazing Kids!'
Katie's design is now available on the following: Get yours today!: Available in kids and adult sizes.
Contest Sponsors:
Little did Katie know that the little seedling she had planted only months earlier would soon become part of a meal which served nearly 300 people!! The meal fed many of the area's families in need who are served by Tricounty Family Ministries. Katie was especially moved to learn that so many children today are facing hunger. Inspired by the experience, Katie wanted to help teach other children about how they, too, can make a difference. She wanted to help them learn to plant a seedling that could one day feed many needy people just as she had done.
Here, in her own words, is Katie's amazing dream for the future:
If you are a kid, teen or adult and want to help Katie in her dream to fight childhood hunger, you can contact your local food bank or soup kitchen to find out how you can help. You can search for a food bank that serves your local community on the Feeding America website: http://feedingamerica.org/our-network/food-bank-spotlight.aspx Just scroll down to the zip code entry field in the lower half of the right column and enter your zip code or state. Read more about the childhood hunger epidemic, and other hunger issues, and how you can take action by visiting the Feeding America website (formerly America's Second Harvest): http://www.hungeractioncenter.org/issues.aspx Download a comprehensive study on domestic hunger and poverty, The Almanac of Hunger and Poverty in America 2007, here: http://www.hungeractioncenter.org/almanac.aspx

The purpose of the Amazing Kids! "Launch My Dream!" T-Shirt Design Contests is to raise awareness and funding for the Amazing Kids! Launch My Dream! initiative, which helps kids launch their amazing dreams, as well as for the individual dreams of each young person who designs the shirts. Amazing Kids! splits the proceeds we receive 50%-50% with the young designers, to help them launch their amazing dreams! Amazing Kids! has partnered with verymeri.com, a charity t-shirt and sportwear company selling apparel designed by kids for charitable causes. Verymeri graciously donates 20% of the proceeds from the sales of their shirts to their partner charities. As such, 10% of the proceeds from the sales of the winning designs will go to help support the Launch My Dream! initiative, while the remaining 10% goes toward launching the dream of the young designers. For example, for our first Launch My Dream! t-shirt, "No Childhood Hunger," 10 year old Katie Stagliano will receive 10% of proceeds to support her dream of creating a world in which there are no hungry children!!! Katie's winning design is the inspiration behind the design of the first-ever Amazing Kids!' "Launch My Dream!" Charity T-shirt. Katie will receive 10% of the proceeds from sales of the t-shirt towards her dream of helping fight childhood hunger. She will also receive a free t-shirt with her winning design!
