One Night for One Month

Everyone knows we here at Authentic are doing are best to help sponsor kids through Save the Children, and in this troubled economy, we feel it's best to focus on the things you can help, as opposed to the things that you can't.

You CAN help kids. A lot. For a little.

$28 a month to sponsor a kid. It's about the cost of a sit down meal for two people in Manhattan (after tax and tip).

It's also the cost of helping a kid and his community with basic medical care and hygiene education, or programs that allow the child and his or her classmates and friends to attend and thrive at school. For a whole month.

One Night for One Month.

And if you sponsor, we will match you through our Authentic “Two For One” program. Use our special link, and Authentic will sponsor a child too. Our goal is to change the lives of FIFTY kids and their communities under this program – twenty-five matches.

We've already got twenty-two kids sponsored, so we're half way there! So get on board, and help change the lives of two kids and their communities, somewhere on this amazing planet.

With your permission, we'll post updates about your sponsored child on this website, along with your comments. And you'll see us doing the same, about the kids that we're sponsoring.

Here's how you do it.

1. Go to http://www.savethechildren.org/AuthenticCommunity
2. Click sponsor.
3. Register! It only takes a minute.
4. Finish the registration and sponsorship form to help Save the Children make a difference.
5. If you want, send the child's name, age, and picture to don@authenticM.com so we can add the info to our site!

The faster you help, the faster the kids get help. At the end of this campaign, we'll have changed the lives of 50 kids and their communities.
