It costs fewer than $22 to move one child through an In the Arena program (although this number is dependent on geography and a few other variables). In the Arena has the aim of impacting the lives of 10,000 young Americans by the time the Summer Games kick off in Beijing in 2008 and we want to triple that number by the start of Vancouver’s 2010 Winter Games. You can help us meet our goal by contributing to our effort whatever you feel you have in abundance: time; technical skills; in-kind, stock, estate and cash gifts; you name it.
In Reflections, renowned mythology scholar Joseph Campbell writes, “Money is congealed energy and releasing it releases life possibilities...it is a mode of participation in the lives of others…In the living of a life today, money is a facilitating energy source. With money in the tank, like gasoline, you can get places you otherwise couldn't go...when money is poured on something it flowers.” We believe this is true of any resources you might offer In the Arena.
