Raising awareness and helping less fortunate children by providing encouragement, counseling, educational tools and workbooks, food, clothing, musical instruments, sports equipment, board games, gift cards, and special events such as huge water balloon fights, trips to the arcade, trips to the movie theatre, and taking them to waterparks in order to enhance the lives of those living in children's homes throughout the United States.
There are children in this world that their only wish is to be healed from cancer and other serious conditions. We provide these children with encouragement, educational tools, workbooks, food, clothing, musical gifts, sports equipment, gift cards, clothes, and art supplies. We have personally seen the positive impact these gifts bring both to the encouragement of these children struggling with these severe conditions and the joy it brings to their families as well. We have worked with members of the Allman Brothers Family as well as Andy Summers of the band The Police and gave away those signed instruments to these children.
In the summer of 2023. our CEO decided to create an interactive workbook targeted to our youth. It covers topics such as finance, time constraint organization, cleanliness, forgiveness, and replacing negative mindsets with positive actions. Each book is made for the individual child. This personalized workbook also gives the opportunity for the child to write a 5-paragraph essay and send it in to receive a letter of recommendation from our non-profit to use on their next career interview. The workbook is filled with numerous ways to achieve purpose-based advancement in their life choices. Give a child a fish and he can eat for a day but teach children to fish and they will eat for a lifetime.
When we visit children throughout our nation, it is very evident that most of them do not have proper provisions. SBTY offers ways to help them such as giving each child a gift card to Walmart and then taking them to then to purchase shoes, toiletries, shampoos, socks, sweaters, and coats. We also provide pizza parties and other forms of food to children's homes around the country. When available, we will take an entire children's home out to dinner at a buffet style restaurant. We will do the same for the individual child and the elderly.
Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. We visit elderly homes and provide entertainment and give gifts of dark chocolate and bouquets of flowers to the widowed residents as well as provide bouquets of flowers on the desks of all the nurses' stations. SBTY has a arsenal of musicians and performance artists that visit these homes and spend quality time with their residents.
SBTY has provided musical instruments such as drums, congas, bongos, and other forms of percussion to homes that cater to intellectual disabilities. We also provide events such as bowling alley parties, swimming events at waterparks, and other forms of special events to help our communities. We have personally seen the positive impact of how basic drum rhythms and music speak where words fail.
SBTY has partnered now with its first Fire Department. We custom built a frisbee golf course for the men working at the Alton, Illinois Fire Station #1. Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of firemen, and we provided them a safe and fun way to get exercise at their station in between their calls. We hope to be building more courses in the near future.
