Sales Renewal is supporting Kids Really Rock by building and maintaining the festival website, which serves as an information hub for festival organizers, sponsors, and families. Sales Renewal staff members are also assisting with event promotion and social media. “Sales Renewal is pleased to have a hand in getting the word out about this, the second annual, festival, ” says Keith Loris, President and CEO of Sales Renewal. “We first got involved when we were asked to help out with the website for the One Family Music Festival – the precursor to this event that took place in May 2013 – and are committed to contributing in a similar fashion for Kids Really Rock.”

Kids Really Rock is expected to draw over 2, 500 people and is a featured event of ArtWeek Boston, a week-long festival highlighting the quality and diversity of the arts, culture and creative community of Greater Boston.

About Room to Grow

Room to Grow, a nonprofit organization founded in 1998 and located in Boston and New York, is dedicated to enriching the lives of babies born into poverty throughout their critical first three years of development. Parents expecting a baby are referred to Room to Grow by selected prenatal programs assisting low-income families. Upon their referral, parents visit Room to Grow’s warm and inviting space once every three months from just before the birth of the baby until their child turns three. During their one-on-one appointments with our staff social workers, typically lasting two hours, parents receive developmental information, customized support, referrals to other community resources, and all of the needed baby items to ensure a healthy and secure start for their child. The $10, 000 of essential material items for the baby that each family receives over the course of three years, including 130 books for the child’s home library, are all donated to Room to Grow by generous individuals and corporations. Room to Grow currently supports nearly 400 families in each location.
