Champions
Champions are at heart of the story
Champions are at the heart of the story. These are the youth-focused nonprofits and community outreach projects that are small but mighty. They know their communities intimately, and are led by or serve young people directly.
Our support is rooted in the EmpowerGen Creed — positivity, generosity, and independent thinking. We walk alongside Champions with funding, resources, and a collaborative network that helps them grow.
When Champions grow stronger, entire communities benefit.
Explore the nonprofits and outreach projects who embody the EmpowerGen spirit. We’re always on the lookout for Champions! If you’d like to join our movement as a Champion, reach out to us.
Connor’s Kindness Project
We are proud to sponsor the team at Connors Kindness. Their mission is to spread kindness by uplifting children that are faced with a challenging situation and to inspire our youth to care for others, be inclusive, and engage in community service.
Comfort Cuddles by Erin
We are so lucky to be partnering with our latest champion of children – Comfort Cuddles by Erin! Erin and her team’s mission is to bring comfort and smiles to children facing hardships. They work on an individual basis with children and their families to identify their unique interests and likes, then design, craft and deliver a customized blanket – and bring smiles all around!

The Skip and Shirley LaBrie Scholarship is awarded each year to students working on their degree in Early Childhood Education at Peabody Veteran Memorial High School.
