So, what is Awareness Week?The objective of Kids’ Chance Awareness Week is to provide supporters with a focused time to be involved with Kids’ Chance in order to gain greater visibility overall for the Kids’ Chance mission, state organizations, and programs.

This is where we started our first Kids’ Chance of America Give Back Better webinar, presented by KCOA’s Brand Manager, Katie Burkhart, on September 25, 2109.

Katie shared how all the KCOA state organizations can maximize their efforts for the ultimate end result: increased visibility for Kids’ Chance!
