Key Supporters
When it comes to generosity and dedication, our sponsors are the REAL deal.
Someone Else's Child is a very special organization with philanthropic energy and interest in really changing the world, especially for children in nearby Lynn. We have been very fortunate to meet the founders, Mike and Diane Christian, who have truly invested in us and in many other nonprofit organizations that focus on children. We are excited about our future collaborations, partnerships and shared goals.
Breckinridge Capital Advisors is a Boston-based financial company with a mind on building community.
The Breckinridge team has brought volunteers to help us build little free libraries, collect books, help with our annual fundraiser, communicate with children as pen pals; arranged trips to the Museum of Science and we REALLY look forward to working and growing together. Our special thanks to James, Kelly and Sabrina of Breckinridge for keeping us in their hearts and minds.
If you have ever attended The REAL Night Out fundraiser you would know that Kelly's Roast Beef is so much more than a delicious roast beef sandwich or a box of clams from Revere. Kelly's is a community-minded business who we have come to think of as family. We truly appreciate you, Kellys Roast Beef!
The Kurt and Therese Melden Family Foundation
The Kurt and Therese Melden Family Foundation The Meldens support since we founded has been consistent and generous. We owe a debt of gratitude to them as we may not have made the strides we have made without the confidence they have shown in our work to improve literacy in Lynn. They walk the walk!
