"We are participating in Champions for Children because knowledge is freedom. It breaks our hearts to see the number of teenagers who can't read, write, or do simple math."
Ken and Jimmie Nell have allocated the funds they raise to benefit Safe Harbor's STRIVE Transitional Living Services Program. This program assists youth with independent living skills such as financial literacy, education completion, job training and acquisition, as well as many other necessary life skills.
