This year, November 9th-13th is Kids’ Chance of America Awareness Week. The goal of this event, now in its sixth year, is to increase visibility for the Kids’ Chance mission of helping children of seriously injured workers pursue their educational dreams without financial burden. After five years of increasing engagement, Paradigm and Kids’ Chance are trying to build on that progress and encourage even more supporters to take direct action in 2020.

Kids’ Chance represents our core philanthropic partnership, and we’re proud to have been able to help this important organization distribute more than $24 Million in scholarship dollars to 7,300 deserving children and counting. This year, Paradigm is even more excited to help spread the word, as we are currently celebrating our 10th anniversary of partnership with Kids’ Chance. By raising awareness throughout the week, the entire Paradigm team is thrilled to help raise more money for more kids.

How the Paradigm Kids’ Chance of America Community Team is making a difference
As the largest corporate sponsor of Kids’ Chance, Paradigm has contributed more than $1.2 Million over the last 10 years. We have 15 Paradigm team members who volunteer their time to provide leadership support to either the national organization or a state chapter. In addition to their designated duties, our Community Team members organize and attend fundraisers throughout the year and regularly raise awareness.

“From our Network Managers and Case Managers, who play an integral role in identifying and referring qualified children, to members of our leadership team serving key roles in state chapters across the United States, the actions of our Community Team show a deep commitment to the Kids’ Chance mission,” says Paradigm Catastrophic Care Management CEO, Kevin Turner. Kevin currently serves on the National Board of Directors for Kids’ Chance and just completed a two year term as President.

Paradigm is also an annual sponsor and attendee of the Kids’ Chance of America National Conference. With the 2020 event going virtual as a result of the pandemic, we were very glad to be able to hold a panel in May featuring our Vice President of Marketing, Ronda Clement. The virtual session discussed the importance of maintaining engagement and support of sponsors during difficult economic times.

Help us spread the word and raise more money for more kids
For the 2018-2019 scholarship year, the Kids’ Chance Community set new records in their program, achieving a 9% increase in the number of scholarship recipients and a 15% increase in the amount of funds awarded. That’s a total of 711 scholarships awarded and $3,264,626 total funds allocated. By spreading the word about Kids’ Chance of America Awareness Week, you can help to build on those numbers again next year.

Throughout the week, we will be sharing inspiring stories from our Kids’ Chance of America Community Team on Paradigm social media channels.
