There are some people who open your mind and heart time after time with their courage and positivity.
Many of you reading this today are those types of people—in your professions, your parenting, your friendships, and your energy. Thank you to each of you who have joined me at Momfluentials events. Your feedback has been very helpful as we explore how we can be of the most positive impact together.
As this year comes to a close, there are two mom-driven organizations I want to bring your attention to, people who open your mind and heart time after time.
The McConkey Foundation
The McConkey Foundation was created by a dear friend of mine, Sherry McConkey, after her husband Shane, also a friend of mine, passed away. The foundation honors his legacy and care for the environment. Sherry, and her and Shane’s daughter Ayla, oversee a variety of programs including The Shane McConkey EcoChallenge. The EcoChallenge invites kids to identify and help resolve an eco issue in their school or community. Teams create innovative projects that protect the environment and fight climate change. Projects are judged in various levels of competition.
The winning teams are awarded a cash prize to donate to their school or nonprofit! Pass this on and tell your kids to APPLY HERE.
But it’s not just the Foundation that Sherry runs that makes her a Momfluential. Even during the darkest and most challenging of times, she looks for the light. She is a light. Sherry inspires many with her courage, grace, generosity, and can-do spirit. She always asks, What can I do? rather than just state, Something needs to be done. Sherry is a Momfluential and she uses her power for good.
CONSIDER MAKING A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION to the Shane McConkey non-profit, empowering kids and making a positive difference in the lives of so many young people.
