Kids With A Cause was founded by Linda Finnegan in September, 1999, to teach the principles and practices of philanthropy to today's youth through interactive programs. The unique perspective of Kids With A Cause is the empowerment of children helping children. Their goal is to provide solutions to specific problems affecting children who suffer from poverty, lack of education or health-related issues.

We experienced KWAC first hand at our hospital stay last summer. Our three year old was admitted to the pediatric ward for a brief stay and was met by a child advocate with a KWAC care package for her. It included a blanket, pillow, coloring activities and a stuffed duck named KWACers. It was a wonderful distraction for her and she still uses the blanket and pillow. Upon further investigation, the organization is actually supported by young entertainers and donations. If you'd like to help their philanthropic endeavor, visit www.kidswithacause.org.
