I participated in a Champions for Kids SIMPLE Service Project as part of a sponsored campaign for Collective Bias®.  All words and opinions are my own.

July is slowly melting away and before you know it school will be back in session.  Most of us are thinking about spending a few more days splashing in the pool or how we can fit in one last road trip while we still have time.  I’d like to ask you consider adding one more item to your to-do list: join us in participating in a Champions for Kids SIMPLE Service Project.
