Kids R First is an organization of community volunteers   who believe that children are the most important investment of  our future.  Providing kids from families in need with their supplies at the beginning of  each new school year and  mini-scholarships for  College or Career Bound kids  helps to lay a greater foundation for  organizational skills,  academic success with enhanced self esteem  and opportunities for success beyond high school.

Each year Kids R First hosts several fund raising events such as: The Golf Classic, Gift Wrapping, and Grants.
