WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
Funds raised through the event will go to support the work of SOS Children’s Villages, supporting over 82,000 orphaned and abandoned children in 134 countries around the world.
Through more than 550 Children’s Villages, SOS offers orphaned and abandoned children a loving home with a mother and a safe environment where their needs for food, health and shelter are met.
Where possible, SOS Children’s Villages also keeps families together through skills training for parents and community development, to ensure self-sufficiency and prevent child abandonment.
Your fundraising will allow us to continue these important efforts.
