#GivingTuesday Is Past But We Still Need Your Help
Dear Friends of KIDS FIRST!Thank you so much for your continued support of KIDS FIRST! and our KIDS FIRST! Film Critics. This year, we started a new fund campaignon #GivingTuesday, asking for your support. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of this year. Please consider making a contribution. No amount is too big or too small. Even $10, the price of a movie ticket, will make a difference. You can easily make a donation online at our fundraise.com page.
This year marks a record number of film reviews by our youth reporters and a record number of people reached by our coverage. Thanks to our media partners – Huffington Post, Workingmother,com, GRANDmagazine.com, Voice America Kids Network, Kidzworld.com, Kidsville News, SoCal City Kids and 48 additional national, regional and local publications both print and online – our coverage reaches more than 7 million every month! That’s a lot.
Our hard-working youth reporters are appearing on the red carpet at premieres interviewing celebrities and talking about the films. They attend press screenings, press junkets and work alongside seasoned entertainment reporters where they hold their own!
We have posted more than 1100 videotaped film reviews and celebrity interviews on our KIDS FIRST! YouTube Channel which gets more than 13,000 views monthly!
