Holiday Charity Fund Raiser

Paul G · 10-04-2004, 11:33 AM

It's time again for the PowWows.com Holiday Charity Fund Raiser.

During the Holiday time of presents and shopping, let's all take some time to give to others.

The goal this year is $1,000, please help us reach that goal!

This year's charity is the Running Strong for American Indian Youth.

You can read more about them here:

Quote:

Running Strong for American Indian Youth® began in 1986 as a project of Christian Relief Services. Our mission is to help American Indian people meet their immediate survival needs – food, water and shelter – while implementing and supporting programs designed to create opportunities for self-sufficiency and self-esteem, particularly for tribal youth. Our goal is to build the capacity of communities, grassroots Indian organizations, and individuals to leverage their strengths to solve problems. Through long-term development programs such as organic gardening, housing, water resource development, nutrition and health care, we strive to foster self-sufficiency on Indian reservations across the United States.

Billy Mills, Olympic Gold Medalist and an Oglala Lakota (Sioux) from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, serves as Running Strong's National Spokesperson. Billy travels throughout the country speaking to American Indian children and their families, spreading his message of inspiration and opportunity for many Indian youth based on dignity, character and pride. Billy plays an integral role in all of our youth programs, which are designed to build a new generation of Indian leaders who demonstrate healthy life-styles and take pride in their heritage.

Running Strong programs are designed and implemented by local Indian people, with our Advisory Board, acting as a resource to preserve, promote and respect Indian culture and values within each program.

Excellent choice! I just put an initial fiver in. After payday on the 15th I'll be able to do more. Thank you for giving us this opportunity.
