LAST CALL....



We still have a couple spots available for the Rodman Ride for Kids on Saturday Sept 21,2024



If anyone is interested, please reach out to:


Rachel@confikids.org ASAP



(Deadline for all applicants is Sept.7)

We focus on ONE THING and ONE THING only.


Building confidence in kids through sports, arts and recreation.


Every time you see a fundraiser, event or a donor/ grant acknowledged... it is all because of this ONE MISSION.... building kids like Tessa.


" This kiddo is moving up the ranks. As you can see, she tested injured and all! First question to the doctor was can I keep going to taekwondo?

3 belts to go until black belt testing is on the table!!! Her confidence and strength have continued to grow. Thanks for all you do and making these moments possible for families like us." - Tessa's mom.


Tessa was one of our presenters at our gala this year and she shared her story.


There are hundreds of kids just like Tessa we are hoping to impact!


Have a way that you can help us? Are you able to attend an event? Can you become a sponsor?

Can you make a donation? It all helps!

Volunteer Spotlight

This month's

Volunteer Spotlight is... The DeVellis Family

It's not JUST volunteering for this family. They make every step of the journey FUN!


This month we celebrate Jamie, Brian and Jim DeVellis and note their epic antics during the Falmouth Road Race. Whether it was Brian creating epic videos, Jamie challenging donors with the promise of her dad dressed in a chicken suit on Foxboro Common (did someone say eggs?) or Jim dressed as Forrest Gump and working the crowd the WHOLE 7 MILES... they created so much fun and excitement and raised about $6,000 for our run this year!

We are so thankful for their support and appreciate their creativity!

Whether you are a business looking to make an impact on the community, an individual looking to volunteer your time, or a parent trying to find ways to teach your kids about the importance of giving back, ConfiKids has volunteer opportunities for all.
