A Message from the CEO

Our hearts, collectively, are breaking for all of the tragedies and injustices we are seeing in the world during this time!  We stand in solidarity with those demanding justice and accountability!  As an organization that is working to harness the collective intelligence and create systemic changes that will allow for the support, acceptance, inclusion of some of our most marginalized members of society, it is time for our institutions to listen, respond, and be accountable to our constituents.  At Unicorn Children’s Foundation, we are here for you, ready to listen, and willing to lend support!  We hope this will be a time for real action to address the systemic inequities that impact so many citizens of our communities.  Let’s all come together and treat each other with kindness and compassion so we can create an inclusive world regardless of color, age, size, shape or abilities!  Thank you to all who are putting their lives at risk to do the “right” thing, which includes medical staff, those who are protecting and serving, and those who are peacefully elevating their voices!  Be strong and stay safe! 

With sincere gratitude, 
Sharon Alexander, M.H.Sc.*

Monday Motivation: Dominique Rivera Reading for Creating Compassionate Children

#MondayMotivation

Unicorn Children’s Foundation Ambassador Dominique Rivera read Exceptionally Good Friends: Building Relationships with Autism to the students of Orchard View Elementary School as part of the Creating Compassionate Children campaign. This is a distribution of a character development curriculum designed to help students create a culture of understanding, acceptance, inclusion, and respect by encouraging meaningful change in preschool and elementary school classrooms. In doing so, we can foster caring peer support and eliminate bullying.
