Alyeska Pipeline Service Company will generously match donations to Best Beginnings, up to $5,000, through the end of year! In other words, your gift’s impact will be multiplied!

We asked one of our premier volunteers why he gives. Take a quick peek at what Board Member, Jesse Kreger, has to say about his experience with Best Beginnings.

Give Great Books to Kids on Your Holiday List
 
The holiday season is gift-giving time for many families with young children. While we often spend a lot of effort deciding which toy a special child might enjoy, books are also a wonderful gift for that child! But with all the choices available to us, many of us are uncertain about which books are most appropriate.

For example, give babies a book they can sink their teeth into! For more simple guidelines and a fabulous booklist, read on.

Based on kindergarten assessments, we know Alaska children need a little boost to be ready for school. Alaska parents with a child under 5 years of age can help!
 
Take a short survey, help us improve our work, and have a chance to win a $50 gift card when you submit your survey by December 8, 2017. Take the survey today!
