Budding Philanthropists

CH3 was founded in 2014 by 6 passionate teens from Long Island with the mantra – Children Helping Children. Since then, it has grown tremendously and now has 3 chapters on Long Island, in Manhattan, and in New Jersey. From creative fundraising to team building events and spreading awareness on the go, CH3 members are resolute in their mission. The funds raised go towards serving underprivileged children in their communities. In the years to come, the plan is to think out of the box and come up with fun and innovative ideas to fundraise and use social media as a tool to share their message.

APPLY TO BE A MEMBER OF CH3

Social Impact

CH3 has held a number of local fundraisers, such as a yoga event, walk-a-thon, basketball tournaments, car washes and Bollywood Dance-Holi event; met with key stakeholders; and generated positive press coverage. All these events raise awareness of CHI and the importance of investing in underprivileged and impoverished children’s futures.

The causes that CH3 supports includes:

  • Sending homeless children to summer camp. They had a modest goal in their first year of sending 2 children to summer camp. The success of CH3 has subsequently enabled the organization to support the enrollment of hundreds of children since its inception.
  • Participating in Thanksgiving food drives and an annual gift card distribution to underprivileged families in the local communities.
  • Providing school backpacks and holiday gifts to children in homeless shelters.
  • Many CH3 members also visit CHI reciprocal schools in India.

CH3 Community

Outside of coming together to make a difference in other children’s lives, CH3 members have found that the organization makes a difference in their OWN lives. They come together as friends to share in their accomplishments and to get to know one another better. Social events include paint nights, group chats, and get-togethers after meetings.
