When crisis strikes, kids are the first to suffer
Get Fed Up and Get Involved
Conflict and poverty are fueling global hunger, but the world is looking away. If you're fed up, join the fight to put children first because they can't wait for lifesaving support.
What's the Urgency?
Every minute, 35 babies are born into hunger.
1 in 5 children are growing up in war zones.
Even here at home, nearly 20% of kids face food insecurity.
Save the Children puts their needs first, always and everywhere. But lawmakers have the power to fund lifesaving programs and right now, two are at risk:
- Food for Peace provides food and farming support to families during global emergencies.
- The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) feeds pregnant moms, babies and kids across the U.S.
Together, We Can Put Children First

Why we fundraise
Pickleball World Record
Angelo A. and Ettore Rossetti, known as The Rossetti Brothers, have set a new Guinness World Records® title for the "Longest pickleball volley rally." The identical twins hit more than 10,000 consecutive volleys without a bounce in exactly two hours. Their record attempt was part of a special event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Save the Children.
Musical Inspiration
Christian used his musical talents to inspire, bring awareness and raise funds for children who are living in crisis and lacking access to music education. He dedicated over 120 hours to produce, direct, organize, and perform in conjunction with fellow volunteer students from the Hong Kong International School. Together they raised nearly $4,000!
Baby Shower for Others
Beth is dedicated to helping children. She ran a marathon and raised more than $10,000 and used her baby shower to fundraise more than $3,500.
Beth shares, "seeing children suffer around the world has made me want to help in whatever way I can…I hope that every child will be able to feel that they have somewhere safe to go and I truly believe Save the Children is that place for them."
Children in Crisis Mural
A mural fundraiser was held by students of the Lycee Francais de New York school. They raised $11,000 in one day! The students were worried about the dire situation of the kids in Gaza with the ongoing violence, but the intent was to memorialize all children affected by conflict. They sold paper hands and flowers to be placed on the mural. They sold out and rushed to make more. It was a heartwarming success!
