Kite Club
Join Kite Club today and help DC’s kids soar to new heights.
At Children’s Law Center, a kite symbolizes the joy and possibility of childhood. Our Kite Club supporters play a critical role in ensuring the year-round safety and stability of DC’s kids through their generous gifts of $1,500 or more annually. Thanks to our Kite Club donors, we’re able to intervene during crises like the pandemic, while also continuing to fight so that every child has a stable family, good health and a quality education.
Over the past 25 years, Kite Club support has made an enormous impact, allowing Children’s Law Center to:
- Pioneer one of the first medical-legal partnerships, now a national model.
- Help secure funding for the Student Fair Access to School Act, which reforms school discipline laws that unfairly target students of color in the District.
- Play a leading role in DC passing numerous laws that keep children out of foster care and with caring relatives.
Knowing the incredible stress and trauma DC families are experiencing during the pandemic, and the critical role Children’s Law Center plays in ensuring kids’ mental and physical health, our family was moved to double our annual gift. I encourage fellow child advocates to join us in supporting this life-changing organization.
Allyn Brooks-LaSure, Kite Club supporter since 2019
