Lotsa Love this Giving Tuesday! – Dec 6, 2024

 

WE APPRECIATE YOU!

Thank you to those who gave on Giving Tuesday. We are grateful for your generosity that totaled $25,000 – that’s a lot of love for Children First!

While many children are counting down the days until Christmas, we’re counting down the days until the start of the next legislative session. Next year is filled with opportunities to advance public policy that improve children’s lives and Giving Tuesday donations fuel that important work.

We’ll share with you later this month our ambitious plans for 2025 but for now wanted to say thank you for your contributions to Children First, and children and families in southeastern PA and across the Commonwealth.

If you didn’t have a chance to give earlier, no donation is ever too little or too late. Click here to give today.

In this digital age, every elementary, middle,
and high school should have a clear, consistent,
and research-informed policy to guide the use
of phones and personal
devices in school. We are issuing a new
guide to help support education officials and
local communities in developing policies that
are understandable and enforceable, and
prioritize learning while ensuring student
safety
