How KDT will spend the charity money
Back in November IBG and Xfiles had a charity event for non profit organizations which included Kids Defense Team.
We received a check from IBG recently for a couple dollars shy of $3800.00
We promised all the money would go to help the children only. There was no form we signed, it was a virtual agreement that we are more than happy to keep.
We plan to honor that agreement by making sure we help as many children as we can.
Kids Defense Team will still pay all our monthly bills out of President/CEO Pam Tomlinson personal pocket.
Money we received from IBG will be used ONLY to help the children.
So far we have bought $1050.00 in Walmart gift cards.
We applied for a corporate account with Kohls. This is the only store we found that would give a discount on buying gift cards to businesses who are helping children.
Once we find out if we are accepted into the Kohls gift card program, if we are accepted we will use the rest of the money to buy gift cards from Kohls.
Since we did not have the funding for shipping clothing and we wanted to help as many children as possible, we decided that sending families gift cards to stores so they could purchase clothing would be the best way to get more bang for your buck.
So far we have sent a woman in Dover Delaware with two kids a $250.00 Walmart gift card. Her husband moved with all their belongings while she was in the hospital, leaving her and her children without a place to live and no clothing.
We are going through our database to send out the rest of the Walmart gift cards that we have purchased. Stay tuned for updates on who we have helped.
