We believe that playing and involvement in sports as kids or young adults grows character, teaches valuable life skills such as communication and sportsmanship, and builds resiliency through competition. Financial barriers are the first of many that prohibit kids from playing sports. From the cost of equipment to transportation costs, to league fees, to school tuition, financial barriers are prohibitive for many young athletes. For challenged athletes who need adaptive sports equipment need to compete, these costly medical devices may be financially out of reach. We believe that playing any sports as kids or young adults grows character, teaches valuable life skills such as communication and sportsmanship, and builds resiliency through competition. But, not everyone is able to participate in sports, and we want to remove barriers that make playing sports inaccessible for many of today's youth.

Learning doesn’t begin when a child starts school. Amazingly, 85% of a baby’s intellect, personality, and social skills are developed in the first three years of life. But because babies don’t come with operating instructions, all parents need a little guidance on how to make the most of this critical period. That’s where Bright by Three comes in. Bright by three visits with parents and other caregivers and provides a three-step program to make sure their little ones get the best start at life. And it’s absolutely free for these families, supported entirely by charitable contributions. Since it was founded in 1995 by then-governor Roy Romer and former Procter & Gamble chairman Brad Butler, Bright by Three has reached an increasing number of families across the state each year — nearly 21,000 last year alone. But an average of 68,000 babies are born in the state each year, so we’ve got a lot more work to do to put these tools in every Colorado home where there’s a baby or toddler. That’s where you come in. There are two ways to help us reach more families: tell a family member, friend, neighbor or anyone who has or is expecting a young child about us. This is a program that’s proven to be helpful for all families, regardless of their income or background. (it’s even available in Spanish) Help support this statewide initiative. A donation of as little as $25 pays for a kit for one family. If you can afford more, you can help us reach even more families. With enough people spreading the word about these programs and donating, we can realize our goal of ensuring that every Colorado child gets the same great start.

Our Mission: Advancing community transformation throughout Greater Houston by helping churches serve local schools. Imagine the impact on our city if EVERY school across Greater Houston had a committed church partner serving with no strings attached and no agenda. School staff and administrators already do so much, but the challenges in our local schools are often overwhelming and the search for long-term community partners is difficult. To help with this, Loving Houston works closely with school districts and church networks across Greater Houston to mobilize churches to serve. There are 4,000+ churches across Greater Houston. Your investment will allow us to reach and equip these churches to serve their local schools excellently and effectively. With your help, we can indeed advance community transformation throughout Greater Houston by helping each church serve its local school! (What about the separation of church and state? Great question! Churches can serve schools just as any other community partner would – mentoring, supporting teachers, giving donations, etc. A church can NOT proselytize, invite children to church, or initiate conversations on religion. However, the possibilities for relationship-building and positive impact are priceless and innumerable. The key to effective, sustainable church-school partnerships is open dialogue, mutual respect, and adherence to school district guidelines. Loving Houston interacts closely with school districts across Greater Houston, and our Equipping Sessions and Leader Gatherings help equip churches to serve schools with excellence and discretion.) John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
