Our Children Making Change Our Children Making
Change is a wonderful local organization that provides a way for
children of all ages to contribute to charities in their communities through
raising money by performing age appropriate chores. It is an opportunity for
children who are too young to volunteer to become active participants in
their community. This year, Gilda's
Club South Jersey was fortunate to be one of the local charities that
the children chose to support. They did an outstanding job raising
$3,680 for each of the six beneficiary charities they chose this year!
Amazing! To all the kids
involved in this inspirational organization, we thank you so much for
appreciating Gilda's Club and our Noogieland program for
children. Noogieland is a place for all children who are touched
by cancer in any way. We talk about what it's like to have a cancer
diagnosis in the family, we do activities like yoga, art projects and we even
do drumming and acting! The money that you raised for us will support
these types of activities for our Noogies. It is so beautiful to
see children helping children. You are a terrific group of kids
and we are so appreciative. For more information
