Bryant Gilchrist, 2019 Executive Director
Hello!
I am very excited for the 2018-2019 year for the Carolina For The Kids Foundation. Last year we celebrated our 20th year and it was a great one, but now with that milestone behind us, we move forward to do more great things For The Kids. Carolina For The Kids has and always will continue to connect the student at UNC, the community around us, and UNC Children’s together. We help the patients and families of UNC Children’s in any way possible and the unceasing attitude is what will carry us through the next two decades and beyond.
In 2018, we all worked hard For The Kids. Through all our recruitment, the 5K, the Benefit Reception, and the Dance Marathon, you worked to help us achieve greatness. So I want to say thank you to all our dancers, donors, runners, volunteers, and committee members. We hope you all will continue to support us in whatever capacity you can to continue achieving greatness. We are an organization open to change if it will bring growth and I love that. As we go into this next year, we will welcome change necessary for us to reach more students, a larger community, and most importantly more patients and their families. We will continue the For The Kids’ Fund and Parent’s Night Out along with the Carolina For The Kids grant, the Carolina For The Kids research grant, and funding for the Children’s Play Atrium in the hospital. We will also continue to strive to find new areas that could use our assistance at UNC Children’s.
As we enter our 21st year, we will be persistent in keeping our mission at the forefront of all we do. This new decade will bring different challenges, new students, more patients, additional milestones, and so much more and we are ready for it all! I firmly believe we can reach new levels in this coming year, but it will require your help. I could not be more grateful to be in a position to lead this organization that has grown so important to me and I am excited for the new things we will all do together. Do not hesitate to reach out to myself or anyone else that is a part of our organization if you desire to get involved. Everyone should be able to help the patients and families at UNC Children’s and we would love to help you do so.
Forever For The Kids,
Bryant Gilchrist
