Help Children in Poverty in Novato and Around the World

The Nonprofit NovatoSpirit is Hosting a February Fundraiser to Benefit Low-Income Children in Novato and Around the World

Be a Valentine this month and raise funds to benefit low-income children in Novato and around the world! The nonprofit NovatoSpirit (www.novatospirit.org) is encouraging kids and teens to help us reach our $8,000 goal to benefit our Novato children and those served by One World Children’s Fund during the entire the month of February. You and your family can raise money through bake sales, babysitting, dog-walking—any way you choose—and donate to help kids!

Headquartered in San Francisco, One World helps vulnerable children served by 50 Partners in many countries—from Nairobi, Kenya to Bodh Gaya, India to Novato in the Bay Area. NovatoSpirit is honored to be a One World Partner.

NovatoSpirit’s mission is to improve the physical and mental health of low-income children in Novato by giving them athletic scholarships to sports.
