Membership Benefits:

If you are a business owner or manager we ask that you consider becoming a member of Realities for Children and make it your business to make a difference. Your membership not only benefits abused and neglected children in our community, but also benefits your business. As a member your company will not only receive positive name association, community appeal and partnership with a strong group of community minded businesses, but also will receive great advertising returns. Although the ‘ends’ of Realities For Children is to serve the unmet needs of abused children, our ‘means’ is through the marketing and promotion of local businesses. In drawing from the marketing budgets instead of charitable budgets we create a new non-competitive revenue stream for youth in need and do so in a manner that directly benefits the business growth of our members. As a result of our cooperative style marketing, strong media partnerships and discounted advertising rates due to our purpose, Realities For Children is not only able to provide a tremendous ‘bang’ for your advertising dollar, but also the appeal to the community to choose to do business with you. As a member of Realities For Children you can make a difference in the lives of children in need simply by promoting your business!
