"Kimberly has impressed me by her spirit of excellence, attention to detail and her seemingly tireless work ethic. Above all that, her kindness, generosity, positive attitude and upbeat nature benefits our Sparrow children and the organization as a whole. I believe many other charity orgainizations have benefitted in similar ways by the gracious, community minded spirit of Kimberly." ~Jeff Leeland, Founder, National Board Member and Former Executive Director of Sparrow Clubs USA

Sparrow Clubs USA!

I first became involved with Sparrow Clubs USA when my sons friend was diagnosed with cancer almost 9 years ago. As my son's Cub Scout leader, I decided to help raise money for his friend through Sparrow Clubs. My den and I did community service and in return the Sparrow Clubs, through a sponsor, gave the family $10 for every hour we worked. The family received 100% of the funds raised! Overall, my scouts and our community raised over $100,000! I saw how this helped the family in their time of need. Not only the money, but the sense of support from the community was just amazing for the family. My son and his friends felt so good about helping another person. They were proud of their accomplishment! I was hooked and wanted to help others! I became a board member, volunteer, spokesperson, fundraiser, advocate and supporter of this great organization.
