Right To Play USA is excited about having successfully completed the 1 Millions Kids challenge, which closed on March 30th, 2012. Among those donors who collectively met the challenge were 15 new donors, four re-engaged donors who hadn’t given since 2009, and five current donors who increased their giving. Together these funds along with Newman’s Own Foundation’s generous grant of $250K are helping Right To Play reach more children in weekly programs around the world. By the close of 2012, Right To Play’s goal is to reach one million kids on a weekly basis globally; this challenge opportunity helps us get that much closer to this goal.
While the 1 Million Kids challenge is closed, Right To Play is thrilled to be featured in
Right To Play, an ESPN film directed by Frank Marshall, airing on ABC this spring. If you're interested in a private screening of the film that profiles Right To Play CEO Johann Olav Koss and the international humanitarian organization, Right To Play, please contact Lindsay Hower at
