The Kids Charities was founded in 2000 by Ron Emard. Ron was formerly the Managing Partner at Robertson Palmdale Honda in Palmdale, California for 20 years, and since 2004 has been dealer principal at Antelope Valley Harley Davidson in Lancaster, California. Ron is known for his untiring devotion to kids in need and has been actively involved as a private citizen and business leader since moving to the Antelope Valley in 1986.
Kids Charities proudly supports numerous local charities that direct all of their funds towards assisting disadvantaged kids of our community. The Kids Charities of the AV does not typically operate as a direct-service provider. This is the role of the non-profit organizations they support. Rather, the fully developed Kids Charities has five primary functions:
Fundraising: to raise money and in-kind donations efficiently.
Community Service: to promote and coordinate volunteer support of service providers.
Fund Distribution: to distribute charitable funds to the most effective service providers.
Community Building: to build alliances among charities, businesses and other entities in support of the community.
Publicity: to execute support through events, promotions and awareness campaigns.
The Kids Charities of the Antelope Valley Mission statement:
We will strive each year to make a positive difference in the lives of kids who need it most. The disadvantages, the hardship and the challenge these kids face motivates us constantly to focus on fulfilling their needs. We will accomplish our goals through special events and public awareness campaigns. We take pride in knowing we have already made a difference and welcome the challenge to beat our future goals. The Kids Charities will continue its mission to serve the innocent children of our community.
