SnackMagic has pledged its support to the 2nd annual #FosterChallenge to help raise $500,000 dollars for the nation’s 500,000 foster youth. Our service joins Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind, & Fire, founder of the Music Is Unity Foundation, and Holly Choon Hyang Bachman, Korean adoptee/founder and president of the Mixed Roots Foundation to kick off the POWER OF ONE campaign in May for National Foster Care Month.

The Power of One challenges all Americans to join the #FosterChallenge by donating $1 to benefit a child in the foster care system. SnackMagic has created the #Foster Challenge Snack Box available throughout May and included in VIP ticket offerings for THE POWER OF ONE: HOUR OF UNITY, as part of its contribution. A percentage of all proceeds from SnackMagic sales will be distributed to 20 non-profit foster care organizations to support their work and meet the urgent needs of foster youth across the country. #FosterChallenge contributors can make their $1 donation at www.fosterchallenge.org or buy a SnackMagic Box using the promo code fosterchallenge.
“SnackMagic is excited to be involved and support such a great charitable cause,” said Shaunak Amin, Snackmagic Co-Founder and CEO. “Helping raise funds to benefit foster children will be incredibly influential in giving kids better lives and we are proud to be a part of this effort.”
“Our partnership with SnackMagic is a wonderful way to create a shared experience while raising awareness and funds for children in foster care, especially those aging out of the foster care system,” said Philip Bailey, Founder of the Music Is Unity Foundation. Bailey added, “We are pleased that Shaunak and SnackMagic are giving back to the community in such an innovative way.”
THE POWER OF ONE: HOUR OF UNITY will be held on Thursday, May 20th at 3pm PST | 5pm CST | 6pm EST to applaud the achievements of foster youth and allow their voices and stories to be heard.
