Lena Pope "90 for 90" Campaign Commemorates 90 Years of Improving Children's Lives

 

2020 marks the 90th year of Lena Pope’s efforts in improving the lives of Tarrant County children, and to commemorate the milestone, the Fort Worth-based nonprofit has launched the “90 for 90” campaign, with the goal of raising $90,000 from October 12 through November 20.

Every dollar raised (up to $90,000) will be matched by Lena Pope board member, Marty Leonard, and 100% of funds will be used to improve the emotional, behavioral, and intellectual well-being of the 4,000 children Lena Pope directly serves each year.

The “90 for 90” campaign calls for individuals to donate $90 via a safe and secure donation link  – www.LenaPope.org/Donate – and participate in the #LenaPope90for90 social media challenge. The challenge involves:

·  Posting a childhood photo on Facebook (as a reminder to champion the child that’s in all of us)

·  Tagging/challenging three friends to do the same

·  Including the #LenaPope90for90 hashtag and donation link in the caption

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, national experts expect significant social and emotional repercussions, including increased substance use, domestic violence, child abuse, and mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideations or attempts. Locally, Fort Worth has already seen an increase in children attempting suicide, as reported by Cook Children’s Medical Center.
