About the Organization
A better future begins with investing in the youth in our communities. This includes supporting education, health, social, and creative development. Rodman for Kids shines a light on possibilities and potential, creates pathways, and provides access to a better future for kids in need of support.
Rodman for Kids provides comprehensive support, including fundraising and organizational resources, to youth-focused charities of all sizes—from passion projects in the incubation stage to established community youth organizations to hospital pediatric units. In addition to financial support, Rodman for Kids provides space and programs for collaboration, networking, professional development, and best practices for our Charity Partners.
One donation can have an impact on every organization and the thousands of kids collectively served.
Rodman for Kids helps make a better future possible.

Our Mission: We are committed to raising resources, building capacity, and creating opportunities for youth-focused organizations, their leaders, and the kids they serve.
How do we do it?
Through our signature cost-free fundraising platform, the Rodman Ride for Kids, we convene our Charity Partners and offer fundraising opportunities that increase participation, grow donor engagement, and ultimately raise more funds for their programs than otherwise would be possible. 100% of funds raised directly impact kids.
For additional financial support to dozens of Charity Partners, we provide a one-of-a kind holiday fundraising gala, the Celebration for Kids, bringing together Boston’s top chef’s, celebrities, and an unparalleled auction to help kids & families enjoy a happy holiday season and a bright year ahead.
These high-profile events not only raise much needed funds, but engage thousands of supporters from across the state and greatly amplify public awareness of these organizations in the community.
We also support our Charity Partners by providing access to unique, once-in-a lifetime experiences to the young people they serve through our Theatre for Kids and Disney for Kids programs – opening their eyes, broadening their horizons, and inspiring their minds to possibilities beyond their own imaginations and neighborhoods.
The result is a strong, connected, and well-resourced network of youth-focused nonprofit organizations and opportunities young people have access to throughout the Commonwealth.
