Stay tuned for information about our new four-year grant program focusing on promoting resilience in traumatized children.  The guidelines will be distributed at the beginning of February.


Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2012 Theater Event, "Come Fly Away", featuring the music of Frank Sinatra and the amazing choreography of Twyla Tharp. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Volunteer Committees and Boards

Young Professionals Board

The Young Professionals Board helps to further the goals of Bright Promises through raising awareness and funds.  They are accomplishing this through various social mediums (website, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and combining forces with other non-profits.  However, their most effective tool - and most fun! - is holding their fundraising events, which are geared towards a younger crowd, filled with a mixed, diverse group, hopefully to grow more and more each time. For all of their information, please visit their website: Young Professional Board Website

New Committees and Boards Forming

Volunteer committees and boards are forming to help drive our fundraising and service efforts. If you are a self-starter, have the time, energy and an applicable skill, we would welcome your participation! Click here to register as a volunteer.

Engaging children is a challenge.  Creating a permanent change in a child’s behavior is an even greater challenge.  How can a program influence children to make life-long changes and choose healthier habits when the children are only there a few hours a day? How can we improve the health of high-risk children when there are so many barriers?

Send a message: a healthy lifestyle is fun and attainable! Kids are kids, no matter where they live and children respond to activities which are enjoyable for them.  Cooking, art, games, fieldtrips, increased physical fitness and hands-on activities are important components across all our programs – and so far, it seems to be working.
