Child Champion Monthly Support "If everyone gives a little - we'll all have a lot." Dick Meyer said these words often and his actions left a legacy of support for the children in our community. Blue Skies is proud to launch our Child Champion Campaign in honor of Dick Meyer, the Meyer family, and the entire Team at Dewey Griffin Subaru.
No matter the size of your gift, you have the power with your support to have a big impact on the lives of children in our community through our Little Wishes Enrichment, and Swim to Live activities, and our Winter Warm Up, Shoe Give, and Backpack Distribution Programs.

Monthly Donations You can make a significant difference in a child's life for just $60 per month. Your support offers children the opportunity to participate in meaningful extracurricular activities such as music lessons, dance lessons, sports, and martial arts. They learn and grow from participating in these activities and the successes they experience build hope , self-esteem, and self-confidence.
