We’re 75% of our way to our goall! Since Nov. 20th, our team has made 121 New Matches, which leaves less than 30 to make by end of year. We're asking our donors to join us in that mission. The New Match Club is a group of donors that join our team's efforts to match as many kids on our waitlist as possible by donating $5 towards each new match made. Together we can ensure every child has a mentor for the next year!
