From Devon Harris

I am pleased to announce that I have been recently named the Spokesperson for Inspire My Kids(TM). Inspire My Kids(TM) is a purpose driven organization dedicated to helping children enhance their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth through the power of personal inspirational letters from celebrities and sports heroes.

Proceeds from Inspire My Kids(TM) are used to support programs such as Right To Play; for which I am an Athlete Ambassador, the Cody Mayo Fund for Courage, Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude's, and many other non-profit organizations seeking to raise money to benefit kids.

The company is the brainchild of two mid-western moms, Jamie Sargent and Nora Stewart. Both are successful business women filled with the heart and soul to make a difference for kids in a big way by offering inspiration from kid's heroes. They came up with the concept of what they call, 'a low tech, high touch solution in a 'high tech, low touch society'; in order to inspire,transform, and encourage kids to go after their dreams. The two wisely surmised that there was no better person to give advice to kids than the ones they adore, admire, and respect - their heroes.

The web site,    www.inspiremykids.com , currently offers letters from athletes, coaches, and even a mascot (Harry Dawg, from the University of Georgia)! We will soon be offering letters from celebrities of all genres: actors, musicians, authors, TV personalities, and an occasional politician.
