Soaringwords Mission:
Soaringwords’ mission is to empower communities to support and inspire chronically ill children and their families to “Never give up!” Each year, 18% of children in the US, 22 million children, suffer from a chronic or serious illness. If you have fully experienced what is great and good in this world because you love a child, then you appreciate the enormous need for Soaringwords. Compassionate and caring volunteers of all ages engage in unique, fun, and meaningful programs both in person and online so that ill children feel loved and supported.
Soaringwords was honored by USA Weekend as a national charity partner for this year’s Make A Difference Day, the largest day of volunteering in the US. Our goal is to have 100 events throughout North America between Sept. 11 and Oct. 24. The largest event will be in New York City on Oct. 24. Click here to learn more. Volunteers will come together to decorate SoaringQuilts® and SoaringPillows® with inspirational messages and artwork to donate to hospitalized kids followed by a Soaringwords/Nia Dance Jam.
