The 0-7 Bengals can still put a huge smile on a kid's face in Greater Cincinnati. In fact, more than 50,000 faces. Many underprivileged kids in our area have never had the opportunity to attend a live sporting event.
Most Valuable Kids (MVK) is a non-profit agency that distributes unused tickets of sports and cultural events to underprivileged kids in Greater Cincinnati. Ticket holders can easily donate their tickets for a tax-deduction at
http://www.mostvaluablekids.org/. MVK distributes tickets to more than 50 pre-screened charities that benefit under served kids in our community. Donors receive a tax-deduction and Jones the Florist, an MVK sponsor, will pick up the tickets from the donor and deliver them to the recipients at no charge.
“It's such an easy way to put a smile on a child's face,” says Sherri Friedman, CEO of Most Valuable Kids. “Many of the kids we serve would not be able to experience a live event anytime in their childhood if it weren't for the donations thru MVK,” said Friedman.
MVK's recipient agencies use donated tickets as rewards and incentives to the kids in their programs. According to Friedman, MVK's agencies use the donated tickets to encourage good behavior, school attendance, good grades and more.
“There are only five Bengals home games left this season, so if you are holding a ticket in your hand that is going to go unused, please give us a call and help make a huge difference in the life of a child,” says Friedman.
