\"\"Every single dollar counts\u2014and 48 hours remain in our KIDS FIRST! campaign.<\/p>\n

We have two quick updates as we enter the final 48 hours<\/strong> of our KIDS FIRST! fall campaign:<\/p>\n

First, thanks to our incredible community, we just officially crossed the $3,000 mark!<\/strong> \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n

Second, I wanted to share a quick moment from earlier today that truly captured the spirit of this campaign. Someone I care deeply about\u2014who happens to be going through a tough patch right now and looking for work\u2014saw our campaign update. Without hesitating, she reached out and said:<\/p>\n

“I have a dollar. Where do I send it?”<\/em><\/p>\n

That is the heart of what we do at KIDS FIRST!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about huge financial commitments; it\u2019s about a community coming together to back our young journalists, filmmakers, and film festival showcases.<\/p>\n

As we make this final push toward our deadline on October 17th<\/strong>, I want to pose that same question to our entire community:<\/p>\n

If every single person reading this email donated just $1 today, we would make a massive leap toward empowering the next generation of storytellers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 Pitch in $1 or enter our sweepstakes here:<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you chip in $1, you enter our sweepstakes for fantastic prizes!<\/p>\n

If we could ask one more thing of you, it is to forward this email to a friend. Who knows you might just win a trip to Portugal for $1.<\/p>\n

Remember, your support gives young reporters the tools, equipment, and platforms they need to make their voices heard.<\/p>\n

Thank you for believing in our youth!<\/p>\n

Warmly,<\/p>\n

The KIDS FIRST! Dream Team and the KIDS FIRST! Film Critics<\/p>\n
