Kars4kids funds educational, developmental, and recreational programs for Jewish youth and their families. Our goal is to foster a generation of well-balanced, productive adults. Our means to accomplish this goal is to provide children and their families with a strong network silver price today of personal guidance and educational resources, individualized to their needs. Our wide array of services is designed to maximize each facet of a child's development - academic, social and cultural. Kars for Kids overall areas of activity consist of educational programming, school placement, tuition assistance, mentorship programs, cultural activities, weekend retreats, religious instruction, summer camps, recreation and guidance counseling.
Since fewer than 1 in 10 of us are expected to achieve our New Year’s resolution, I propose that we start a new trend instead: New Year’s introspection. Remembering why we’re doing what we’re doing, in the hope for rejuvenation and a fresh new year. A promise of thoughts and only that.
Looking back at the past year as an employee at a nonprofit can go in two directions: we can look at the work we’ve done as tasks that were crossed off our list, or we can look at that same work as accomplishments that are changing lives. Every day brought with it frustration, every week yielded impossible deadlines, and every month had late nights at work. But a year mls standings passed means thousands of kids attending school, spending their summers in a positive atmosphere, receiving guidance from their mentors, and shaping into our future success stories.
This year, I’m spending New Year’s putting this all in perspective so that next week, when I want to just go home and crawl under my covers, maybe it’ll cross my mind that Kars4Kids is headed somewhere- and we’re headed there fast.
A quick introduction to our real estate donation program for the unfamiliar: We accept properties of all kinds, from commercial to residential, vacant lots to high end homes, offering donors a tax deduction for the full appraised value of the property, a hassle-free process including covering all closing costs, and iren of course, the chance to benefit a charity.
Real estate agents and brokers can benefit from the program as another option to offer homeowners whose properties are not selling easily and who may be in a position where donating is as beneficial as selling. Realtors even receive commission for the properties their clients donate!
Realtors at the expo were very interested in hearing about our new program, but perhaps even more popular were the nifty little Tylenol promos we distributed. “The Cure to Your Headache Listings”– get it? ;) We were told they would come in handy after the evening partie.
