KIDS NEED MUSIC
Music is natural and is a part of life.
Team Ellie has a goal host outdoor kid-friendly outdoor events and concerts where kids can kids experience music though participation; running around, tapping, clapping, and dancing.
WHAT WE SUPPORT
GO AND PLAY
Team Ellie is committed working with our partners, to get kids off the couch, out the door, getting active, helping to create great places to play, and achieve their potential.
Team Ellie pairs funding partners with opportunities to help communities to take bold steps toward coming together to build or refurbish play spaces, resulting in kids feeling valued, because helping kids is a team sport.
ENJOY NATURE
Team Ellie wants to bring kids back to nature and help parents find new ways to engage their kids outside. Many of today's adults experienced traditional nature play as children, but too often modern life has this removed portion from today childhoods.
Experts agree that children need access to nature the same way they need good nutrition and adequate sleep.
KIDS PLANTING TREES
Team Ellie wants to have every child planting one tree as part of childhood or youth activity. We look for opportunities to work with schools and local organizations, such as park districts or forest preserve districts, who want to get involved and to raise awareness about how valuable trees are.
