2013 Promise Appeal: Free the Children

The MDRT Foundation is partnering with Free the Children during the 2013 MDRT Annual Meeting, June 10–13, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Annual Meeting attendees are encouraged to support the Foundation’s Promise Appeal by donating USD 200 to raise funds for our global grant programs, which will award a grant to Free the Children.

Free the Children is a charitable organization based in Toronto, Canada, that empowers youth to raise funds and awareness for children and families in developing countries.

Free the Children's sustainable programs provide access to education, micro-business, medical care and water sanitation for underserved communities in more than 45 countries around the globe. Since 1995, Free the Children has built more than 650 schools and provided more than one million people with clean water, health care and sanitation services.

"Since 1959, the MDRT Foundation has awarded more than USD 28 million to charities, endorsed by MDRT members, that create sustainable change for people in need," said MDRT Foundation President Gilbert A. Haggart, CLU, LUTCF, a 43-year MDRT member and MDRT Foundation Platinum Knight from Des Plaines, Illinois, USA. "This partnership with Free the Children will help build stronger families and communities worldwide."
