‘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.
