Thank you to our 4 silver sponsors for Champion for Kids, Providence Alaska, The Alaska Community Foundation, Mat-Su Health Foundation, and Bristol Bay Native Corporation! To prevent child abuse and neglect across Alaska, we MUST join together, and each of these organizations is making a big impact in our state to create healthier children, youth, and families. Learn more about each of these incredible organizations below! 🏩Providence Alaska provides health services in six communities - Anchorage, Eagle River, Kodiak Island, Mat-Su, Seward, and Valdez. As partners, Providence and ACT work on upstream prevention methods to decrease the amount of children exposed to child abuse and neglect and promote a future of healthy Alaska families. 🌟The Alaska Community Foundation envisions an Alaska where communities come together and have the resources to thrive, just like ACT. They accomplish this vision by inspiring the spirit of giving and connecting people, organizations, and causes like ours. 🙌The Mat-Su Health Foundation works to improve the health and wellness of Alaskans living in the Mat-Su. Mat-Su programs like Youth 360 (see photo) are part of the Alaska Afterschool Network, our program that strengthens out-of-school time programs across the state. We link arms with Mat-Su Health Foundation to ensure every child has what they need to thrive! 🦭At the heart of Bristol Bay Native Corporation is a Native way of life born from ancestors who have lived in the Bristol Bay region for thousands of years. Today, BBNC manages and stewards lands for the benefit of shareholders and all Alaskans. BBNC is committed to giving back to the community and has had a strong relationship with our work for many years. Thank you again to ALL of our silver sponsors who help make our work possible! (fb)
