Champions For Children: Prevent Child Abuse Hampton Roads is a 501(c)(3) organization, which has served the Hampton Roads Region since 1983 in the quest to eliminate child abuse and neglect. Champions for Children focuses its efforts and resources on public awareness, education, and advocacy for the prevention of all forms of child abuse and neglect.

FIRM FOUNDATION OF VIRGINIA
Established in 2015, Firm Foundation of Virginia, Inc. is a local 501(c)3 non-profit serving homeless single mothers and their children. We’ve found due to low wages, unaffordable housing and the local Section 8 lists being closed for years, mothers are left with no options. Therefore, we have established a location in Portsmouth, and our goal is to establish a location in all the surrounding cities to meet the needs of these families. We partner with local landlords and assist with subsidizing these families basic and most expensive living expenses, rent. We would use the $5000 gift to help our clients get ahead in future rents to help them prepare for the upcoming holiday season without any stress. FirmFoundationVA.org
KENNEDY’S ANGEL GOWNS
Kennedy’s Angel Gowns is a non-profit organization that provides burial gowns for babies who pass away before or shortly after birth. In addition we assist families in paying for funeral costs and are working on a goal to purchase Cuddle Cots for each hospital in Hampton Roads. Cuddle Cots are cooling devices that help preserve the body of the infants and helps to give the family the gift of time. If we were to be the proud recipients of these funds we would utilize these funds to purchase a Cuddle Cot, use them for the supplies for the Angel gowns, and assist with the costs of the funerals.KennedysAngelGowns.org
