Why Radial Contributes To DonorsChoose
 
One rural school's playground is bare muddy dirt.  The only equipment for 35 kids? A couple of deflated dodgeballs that won't hold air anymore.  
 
Other teachers describe school neighborhoods where it's not safe for kids to be outside. And kids from all walks of life gravitate to TV and junk food
 
Tools for dealing with the daily stresses so many kids face? Forget it.

Really, it's no wonder so many are overweight and inactive and stressed out.
 
Healthy lifestyles start early.  Yet many public schools lack even basic tools to teach kids about nutrition, activity and emotional wellbeing. 
 
DonorsChoose, a not-for-profit, tackles this problem by matching project proposals from public school teachers with donations from businesses and individuals.  
 
We've funded a DonorsChoose project every year since 2005See pix and thank-yous for 2007 and 2006 here.
 
Can you think of a better way to directly and immediately improve the lives of kids in communities across the U.S.?
 
Me either.
 
The minimum donation's only a buck, you can contribute to schools in all fifty states, and we think their "Giving Cards" are wonderful feel-good giveaways for customer promotions, too.
