Local Spotlight: Courageous Kids
The Roots Of Courageous Kids
In 2010, Terri Hocking had a revelation: there had to be more that could be done in the way of helping children with life-threatening conditions and their families cope with their reality. Almost immediately, Terri founded Courageous Kids and began a pursuit of happiness for these families in the southeast Michigan area.
Today, the nonprofit works tirelessly to plan fun events that are specifically designed to “provide positive distraction, family bonding, and emotional support for the whole family.”
Throughout the year, Courageous Kids hosts a variety of different kinds of events. One month, Courageous Kids could be out bowling and taking a trip to The Henry Ford Museum to enjoy a tour and a cater lunch.
They also host all kinds of holiday parties that double as fundraisers to support their cause and take the stress off families. For instance, their Annual Valentine’s Dinner Dance serves as one of their primary annual fundraising events, but also as a fun event for families to get together and celebrate.
How You Can Help The Cause
There are a few ways that members of the community can support Courageous Kids, starting with monetary donations. Every dollar donated to this nonprofit goes towards making events as fun and exciting for the kids as possible.
You can also donate your time to volunteering at one of the many events they host. You can help register guests at the check-in table, assist with planning and organizing an event, or even act as entertainment and bring a little something extra to the event.
