On the Site, you can create a bubble to share your thoughts and inspire others to think about protecting vulnerable children. The concept was developed to help supporters engage with the organization in a way that inspires them to consider a gift in their will.
You can create bubbles and let them go in the park (virtually of course) and you can ask your friends to create bubbles too. You can download a free guide and you can learn more about the organization’s mission.
