Get your dollar ready!

Can $1 make a difference in the life of a child?
You bet it can!

Kids' Day is a partnership between The Modesto Bee and The Salvation Army. Through donations and special edition newspaper sales, our mission is to raise funds to benefit Salvation Army programs for youth at the Red Shield Center in Modesto. Hundreds of children benefit from Kids' Day.

Kids' Day provides an opportunity for local people to help local children. Kids' Day papers will be sold for $1, and seventy-five cents of each dollar is directed toward after-school tutoring and mentoring programs, computer labs for homework, lunch programs for children who are "off-track" from school, year-round day camps, sports equipment and uniforms, swim lessons and facilities and so much more.

Since 1996, more than $600,000 has been raised for at-risk children in Modesto. Tuesday, May 19, 2009 marks our 13th annual event.
