Among the amazing adult guests on Tuesday’s #gno virtual panel (see bullet list below), we are also excited to announce our first kid panelists—Mary Margaret, an amazingly charitable 10-year old from Kids Are Heroes and Jason from Pencil Bugs, one of the world’s youngest entrepreneurs who believes in giving back a portion of what he earns to charity.

Join us for an inspiring evening where you’ll learn how to raise giving, service-oriented, and charitable children. We hope you’ll bring your best tips, insights, and experiences to share with other party goers as well!

When: Tues., Apr. 21 from 9 pm to 1 a.m. EDT (8 CDT, 7 CDT, and 6 PDT)

What: Girl’s Night Out (What’s GNO? Click here to find out!)

Topic: Raising giving children—in conjunction with our charity to fight poverty in Kenya (Yehu, BasaBody, Coast Coconut Farms)

• • What are the best ways to be giving and charitable and teach this to your child(ren)?

   Glad to see you celebrating what is right with kids today. Great work! :+) Jason O’neill has been featured in the What’s RIght WIth Kids Today? blog, sponsored by Soul Salon International. I am always looking for more terrific kids to profile there in this new forum. You can nominate kids through the SSI contact page. Have a great day!

   I am so excited about this event tonight for so many reasons! The topic really hits home with our mission to make change happen which needs to start with families, but I’m also thrilled to be attending my first GNO! Looking forward to meeting some new friends too.
