Hi All - the clock is ticking and for many of our Ripple Kids, summer is over. The good news is that we've extended our deadline for the Summer Challenge and there is still time to win money for your favorite charity with this final (and easy) project idea for the summer!

Idea #3 - Gather a group of friends, troop or team members and color pictures to bring a smile to those in need of a pick me up. Color-A-Smile,  a nonprofit organization, has many templates to choose from. Simply download, color and return to them for distribution to the elderly, people in the hospital or anyone else who needs it. You can also color them and bring them to your local hospital, senior center or nursing home. What could be easier? Learn More
