Focusing the Attention of Our Nation On the Most Critical Issues Facing Children Today
National Child Awareness Month brings diverse charitable organization together for a common goal.
Under the umbrella of National Child Awareness Month, a wide array of organizations can set aside their individual agendas to focus on the bigger picture of children in America today, and what is being done to address their growing challenges and needs. Our nation’s attention has been diverted away from the one resource that guarantees greatness in the future – our children. NCAM will help redirect needed attention back to children.

Festival of Children has been an invaluable opportunity for us. We couldn't possibly afford to do the type of outreach that the Festival provides on our own. One of the most amazing stories from our participation in the Festival was meeting a doctor from Turkey who works with blind children there. Through this contact, a new support group was created and we have a new sister school in Turkey.
