Please join us in wishing our wonderful Board Treasurer, Reid Whitehair, a very Happy Birthday today!

Reid does so much behind the scenes to help keep Children In Need, Inc. running smoothly! Over the past year, he has dedicated countless hours to helping us update and strengthen our financial systems, reviewing financial records, supporting our bookkeeping processes, and preparing for our annual IRS Form 990 filing.

While much of his work happens outside of the public eye, it is incredibly important to our organization. His attention to detail and commitment to financial accountability help ensure that we are responsible stewards of the donations entrusted to us by our community.

Reid, we are so grateful for the time, expertise, and dedication you bring to Children In Need. Thank you for helping us build a stronger organization for the children and families we serve!

We hope you have a wonderful birthday!
