Each year, our small team at the Council for Children's Rights serves thousands of children in our community. We help them get the support they need in school, protect them in the courtroom, and ensure they have appropriate access to life-saving mental health treatment. Please consider a donation this week to help us improve the lives and outcomes of Mecklenburg County's youth.

Our community stepped up this week and helped us raise our original goal of $10,000 in a short three days! Thank you to everyone that has donated so far. With two days left in the campaign, we've decided to challenge ourselves and see if we can raise a total of $15,000 by the end of the day Friday, December 2nd.

You can help us meet our new $15,000 goal this week by simply sharing this page with your friends and family by hitting the Share button to the right! You can also start you own fundraising page by clicking the orange button below that and signing up. You are our best ambassadors to amplify our message to people like you who care deeply for our community's children!

We also wanted to take the opportunity to give back to our steadfast supporters. Tuesday through Thursday this week we'll be offering giveaways* from local businesses, including Mere's Curated Gourmet, Charlotte Running Company, and 704 Shop. Stay tuned on our Facebook and Instagram for more information.

Finally, we hope you'll join us at Divine Barrel Brewing this Friday, December 2nd for our Cheers for a Cause Happy Hour to learn more about our work and support. Divine Barrel is generously donating a portion of proceeds to Council that evening so you can feel good about raising a glass with us! Attendance is free but you can let us know you're coming by RSVPing here .
