Kids 'R' Kids International Soars for Healthy Babies at Gwinnett March of Dimes Walk

Proud Sponsor of March of Dimes for More Than A Decade

Gwinnett-based franchise, Kids ‘R’ Kids International, will go up, up and away at this year’s Gwinnett March of Dimes three-mile walk – by way of the corporate hot air balloon. The iconic balloon, piloted by Kids ‘R’ Kids International CEO, David Vinson, is one of many ways the early childhood education provider will serve as this year’s presenting sponsor.

Duluth-based since 1985, Kids ‘R’ Kids International, Inc. has supported March of Dimes through sponsorships, fundraising and event participation for nearly 15 years, resulting in nearly $210,000 donated to the organization.

“We support March of Dimes because they too believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually,” said David Vinson, president and CEO of Kids ‘R’ Kids International, Inc. “Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academies is proud to support an organization that shares a commitment to the health and wellbeing of children in our community.”
