Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Kids who are taught the importance of higher education often return to their own community and become mentors to the younger generations to show them the opportunities that school opens. This formula will help each community prosper.

Dig for Kids has completed 33 after school programs to date. We have touched so many kids in a positive way. They are learning the importance of being educated, exercising, and being a role model for other kids their age. We have great support from many people and companies and we appreciate their donations, time, and effort to help others. We are a team who strives to make a difference in childrens lives.

Thank you so much.
