Kids Help R Baby
Kids make a difference! From lemonade stands to sports tournaments, children have turned their passions into projects that raise awareness and funds for our cause.
‘Kids Help R Baby’ was inspired by a simple question that Sidney Rabinowitz, our founders’ son, asked when he was nine years old: “Why can’t more children help R Baby?” He even had some great ideas. “Could we do a flag football tournament or a smoothie stand? Or draw pictures for those babies at the hospital?” Our team loved the idea of introducing young children to the importance and personal rewards of volunteering. Sidney’s idea has grown into a program that lets kids create projects, get involved and have fun helping others.
‘Kids Help R Baby’ Mission:

Our hope is for children to really enjoy their volunteer work, and at the same time, learn from it by owning and creating their projects. We can provide support and resources to help make their projects fantastic, including marketing materials to distribute, as well as people to help you plan a successful event.
