Heart to Heart, Project S.O.S. Announce Nonprofit Merger 
Combined organization adds tools for disadvantaged kids to succeed in school!

OLATHE, Kan./May15, 2006 — Heart to Heart International Inc., a leading global humanitarian organization, today announced the Project S.O.S., a Kansas City-based nonprofit, has agreed to merge with the organization and enhance Heart to Heart’s humanitarian outreach across the U.S. The merger was announced at the annual Ewing M. Kauffman Golf Classic, the largest fundraiser of the year for Project S.O.S.

“Project S.O.S. enhances our portfolio of community services by delivering a highly valuable product to children and youth in the metro area,” said Jon D. North, Heart to Heart’s CEO. “We have actually supported their efforts for several years and admired their work from afar. But it wasn’t until late last year that we realized how compatible we were and talks of a merger accelerated. We’re excited to bring Project S.O.S. into the Heart to Heart Alliance.” 

“Merging with Heart to Heart will enable Project S.O.S. to achieve its vision of helping children in need in Kansas City and beyond,” said Bruce Ré, co-founder of Project S.O.S. “Heart to Heart offers us a national platform from which to expand—a platform that we may not have been able to achieve on our own. We’re excited about the prospect of helping more kids than ever before.” 

 

 Who SOS serves!

Project SOS serves underprivileged students from 5 to 18 from a forty-two county area throughout Kansas and Missouri with the school supplies they need to participate fully in their education. Roughly 80% of the young people we impact are in foster or institutional care. They have the will to learn, but not the tools. Through the use of contributions from both the business community and individuals, Project SOS equips children with backpack filled with 100% of the academic and art supplies required by most school districts. Last year, Project SOS helped more than 10,000 kids, but thousands more attended their first day of school without pencil and paper.

INTERESTING FACT: By buying in bulk, we are able to get $75 worth of school supplies for only $15 per student, including our overhead costs.
