Why Bond Arizona?

We are living in a time where an average of 20% of the children in classrooms need remedial support, have learning and behavioral challenges, or difficulties with communicating or relating. Statistics from the Children’s Defense Fund:-A child in Arizona is born into poverty every 33 minutes-A child in Arizona is abused or neglected every two hours-A child in Arizona dies before his first birthday every 15 hours-A child or teen is killed by gunfire every four days.

...

BOND members believe that if each can step forward with a piece of the puzzle and put them together in a cohesive whole, the picture for Arizona’s children will be clearer and the future brighter.
