Communities in Schools – @cisnational – is an organization that is #allinforkids.  Each year our local CIS holds a fundraiser on Derby Day called Hats and Hooves.  The event is a lot of fun and raises a lot of money for CIS Coweta County where I live.  More importantly, their model of helping impoverished and at risk children really works.  Marie and I are honored to be able to support this fine organization.  We also get to serve as mentors to 2nd, 4th and 5th grade students at a local Title I school through CIS.  Those kids are the highlight of our week!  

If you are looking to impact young lives in a very positive way, there are great ways to do that: The Boys and Girls Club, Scouting, and Communities in Schools.  They all do fantastic work.  They each are a “horse you can bet on” with the confidence that the return will be far greater than your investment!
