The Bell Family Foundation added to list of Kinetic Kids Partners!
Kinetic Kids is thrilled to announce a new partnership with The Bell Family Foundation, focusing on providing scholarships for Kinetic Kids participants so that every child has the opportunity to participate in our programs regardless of his/her economic situation.
The Bell Family Foundation has granted Kinetic Kids $3,000 which will provide scholarships for over 40 participants in 2012.
The Bell Family Foundation, started in 2005, is run by Matt and Jessie Bell of San Antonio, Texas and has been an ardent supporter of youth projects locally, across the country and the world. The Bell Family Foundation was started to assist children in need and has supported numerous worthy causes such as Water Well programs in west Africa in alliance with Living Water International, child medical clinics in impoverished parts of West Africa, scholarships for students with special medical needs in San Antonio, support of children through St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, and missionary efforts to the homeless in Los Angeles. Most recently, the Bell Family Foundation partnered up with Hill Country Daily Bread Ministries to fund the Stand By Me Academy, which supports summer school for at risk youth. The Foundation has also recognized the need for children to have fun and get active by partnering with Shooting Stars in providing basketball camps for at risk youth in lower income parts of San Antonio.
Kinetic Kids is extremely grateful for new support from the Bell Family Foundation. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude for continued support from the following Kinetic Kids partners:
Kronkosky Foundation
San Antonio Pediatric Society
The USAA Foundation
Valero Energy Foundation

Hi Matt,
I hope you are off to a great 2012. I am, and it would be even greater if I were not so allergic to mountain cedar pollen. Today’s rains are providing some much-needed relief, though. Not as much relief, however, as the people of Berserke feel now that they have water, thanks to you and everyone who supports the Bell Family Foundation! Thanks for your partnership! STORY LINK

A Message from Matthew and Jessie
We started The Bell Family Foundation in 2005 in the hopes that we could make a difference in the lives of people that we encountered on a regular basis.
With so many charities out there raising money and working on the "big stuff" (cancer, heart disease, etc.) we encountered people who just needed a hand. People who knew about sick kids in Africa who hadn't seen a doctor in years, who were drinking dirty water and had a broken well, who had special needs and needed special tutoring.
Things like that spurred us, with our limited resources, to try to make a difference.
When you financially support or pray about our foundation, you are helping us bring aid in an immediate and real way. Thank you for visiting our site and please consider your tax-deductable donation.

Did you know? 50% of the general funds received are returned to local and domestic causes and 50% are invested in our international ministries. The Bell Family Foundation mission is to raise funds to assist worthy causes in the areas of special needs scholarships, clean drinking water projects, youth medical clinics, youth sports promotion and capital assistance, homeless missions and projects, and other worthwhile charities benefiting the underserved in society. Due to the professional involvement and donation of services, 100% of funds donated are passed through to the sponsored causes.

Matt and Jessie,
Richest Thanksgiving blessings in the Bell household this season. I wanted to send you a few pictures of the way that you have blessed a few of the Stand By Me mentees and mentors recently. The pictures were taken last Saturday at the UTSA football game. At the Bell Foundation Round up I won the tickets in the raffle and passed them on to these mentors because I was going to be out of town...they all had a wonderful time. Happy young men I would say. I saw Ceasar on Sunday and asked about the game and he said it was “AWESOME.” Being at that game gave his mentor a chance to talk about college and where each of the teams where located geographically. Ceasar and Glen plan to visit UTSA and see a real college campus soon.
