Description

Hosted by Kids' Chance of North Carolina At Kids’ Chance, our mission is simple: we provide scholarships to children of workers who have been seriously or fatally injured on the job. It’s a mission that we cannot fulfill without the support of a powerful community. The 2022 Kids’ Chance National Conference brings that community together to empower our volunteers, recognize the support of our leaders and partners, and celebrate what matters most - our kids. Join us in Charlotte!
