Happy New Year’s Eve! As 2019 draws to a close, I want to celebrate the “Tapestry of Commitment” of thousands of people just like you who have given their donations, time, ideas, connections, spaces, and homes for over 30 years to make Kidpower into the powerful force for safety that we have become today!
