Feeding Better Futures Scholars Program

 The Feeding Better Futures Scholars Program is a brand-new initiative launched by General Mills. Feeding Better Futures empowers today’s youth to seek solutions in hunger relief and sustainable agriculture.

Young innovators are invited to pitch their in-action solutions for the opportunity to present at the Aspen Ideas Festival, be partnered with industry mentors, and earn up to $50,000 to further their program and education. Young actress, activist and star of The Carrie Diaries, AnnaSophia Robb even teamed up with General Mills to help encourage young people to enter the National contest.

Give a child you care about the change for a brighter future. Tell them to apply for this oppurtunity today.

LemonAID Warrior Lulu Discuss Philanthro-Party Tips and How Your Child Can Win a $1,000 “Skullership”

Gen Z (0-18 years old) is a generation defined as un-bordered, optimistic, inspired and entrepreneurial. With the power and knowledge of the world at their fingertips, how do parents today harness and nurture their kids’ passion into something productive?

Lisa Cerone, mother of 13-year old Lulu, knows first-hand about the discipline and encouragement it takes to foster big aspirations from a small person. At the age of 10 years old, Lulu Cerone single-handedly created, organized, and executed a large-scale, school-wide fundraiser to help aid the earthquake victims in Haiti, raising more than $4,000. Four years later, Lulu’s philanthropic efforts total more than $20,000 raised.

Lulu is inspiring friends, classmates and her community to give back in whatever ways they can. She has also caught the eye of one of the most popular tween girl brands – Monster High^® who, starting April 15^th through June 9, will give Philanthro-party hosts a chance to win a $1,000 cash donation to their cause of choice.
