Inspired October VI | Page 4

LETTER Letter from the Publisher October is our sixth edition this year and we are thrilled with the overwhelming response, from concept a few years ago and now with the monthly magazine. Thank you to all who support our efforts To Inspire Kids. October continues our trend of amazing content from Kids including a new section, Paige’s Page. Paige Rawl is the author of this page and as many of you know her new book Positive, has recently been named the Today Show’s book of the month. We are honored that Paige is contributing to Inspired Magazine and look forward to sharing her work. Inspired Kids has recently become the Fiscal Sponsor for an amazing 11 year old in Indianapolis. Play It Safe, an organization started by Olivia Keith, is now a nonprofit under our Fiscal Sponsorship. We are helping her introduce Don’t Waist Your Belt, a new program where you can drop off used belts that will then be given to kids who attend IPS schools. The Fishers YMCA has agreed to become the first drop off point and expect us to add more drop off locations in the weeks ahead leading to the launch of this amazing program. Read about Play It Safe and Olivia on page 26. We have started a small crowdfunding campaign with the Indianapolis Arts Council and their Power2Give platform. We are honored to be selected to participate and look forward to your support. Click here for our project.
