Hank Parker reels in support for CUREkids

Hank & Martha Parker and their grandkids

Hank Parker, host of Hank Parker’s Outdoor Magazine on NBC Sports, introduced his affiliation with CUREkids on today’s show.  For those of you not familiar with “the rod-n-reel answer to Michael Jordan,” Hank Parker won his first national championship for bass fishing in 1976, then went on to win many other awards and championships over the next decades.  Inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2003, Hank now hosts his own fishing/outdoors television program, nationally televised on NBC Sports and the Pursuit Channel.

Today, Hank introduced his viewers to CURE.  The Hank Parker Community is currently raising support for Adriany, an 11-year-old girl who is scheduled for treatment at CURE Honduras. Today’s episode of Hank Parker’s Outdoor Magazine will air again on NBC Sports on Friday, 3 February, at 12:30 PM EST.  Be sure to check out his show and CUREkids community!

Keeping your resolutions

IMG_7128 Its January, the beginning of a New Year, and many people are working hard to keep their resolutions.  In general, it seems like most resolutions are difficult to keep. Statistics say that 45% of people make New Year’s resolutions but only 8% of people are actually successful in keeping them.  If you have made a resolution, I apologize for the bad news. But don’t worry; there is still hope, because CURE is here to help. Read the rest of this entry »

100,000 : 1

I’m excited to announce that as of January 23rd, we’ve reached our goal with the team at ToonUps and A Better World.

It took merely a month for us to reach 1,000,000 positive expressions in the game. Each 100,000 expressions helped one child who likely would never have walked without the intervention of CURE. Take a minute to puzzle that through. Simply by playing a game and sharing your positive thoughts and encouragement through it, 10 children will have their lives changed in a dramatic way. Forever.

Here at CURE, we pray asking God to show up in ways only He can take credit for. As I see it, this is one of those ways. It’s not every day that God brings us an organization to partner with. Nor is it every day that an organization will provide a way to help heal children simply by expressing yourself and sharing positive emotions with others! Yet, again God saw fit to provide for CURE, and for that, we are grateful. ToonUps is planning to officially present CURE with their donation in early February. We’re incredibly thankful for the new friends and partners we’ve made at ToonUps and look forward to partnering again in the future!

Keep up to date with the kids being healed through A Better World on the A Better World community page!

We’re Recruiting CUREkids Coordinators

CURE is recruiting young adults who have qualifications as bloggers and photographers to serve in our hospitals as CUREkids Coordinators. A CUREkids Coordinator is a compensated position within CURE International that serves on a one year term overseas. They live and work at (or near) a CURE hospital in one of the countries in which we serve as a full-time blogger and story-teller, connecting people in the US with the kids we treat in our hospitals through words, pictures, and videos using the tools we’ve built at cure.org/curekids. CURE provides for your housing, living expenses, training, and the tools you need to tell the stories of our CUREkids.

We’re always on the lookout for candidates for the future, but we’re urgently seeking a person to replace our CUREkids Coordinator in Kenya for the beginning of April. If that’s you, click the button below to get more information and start the process or send your resume and references to curekids@cure.org.

CURE Won a Pixel Award!

Last Thursday evening, we received some exciting news that we want to share. If you remember back on November 27, 2011, we told you that CURE.org was nominated for a Pixel Award in the category of best non-profit website for 2011. There were two potential awards to win: a judges award and a people’s choice award that involved public online voting. We asked you, our audience of loyal supporters, volunteers, and fans, to vote for CURE.org early and often.

CURE won a Pixel Award!


I’m pleased to announce that CURE.org won the judges choice as best non-profit website. We’re thankful to receive this award, and we congratulate the other nominees that we were up against. There have been some pretty awesome winning sites in the Pixel Awards’s 6-year history, and we’re grateful to now be on that list of recipients.

But that’s not all…
