This Hero’s Memory lives on through the generosity of his family and the 3rd Annual Kyle Pagerly Memorial Golf Tournament. The funds raised were donated to 1Boy4Change.org so Chris could purchase “heat alarm” systems for police K9 teams that otherwise would go without this life saving equipment!

THANK YOU to everyone that supports the Kyle Pagerly Memorial events! “SEVEN” heat alarms will be purchased through American Aluminum Accessories Inc. because of a Hero’s Legacy!

"We would like to identify and recognize youth heroes who have honorably chosen to give back to their community through volunteering for any agency, organization, church or other charity."

The mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

Volunteers make up more than 95% of the Red Cross workforce and we could not accomplish our work without them. I know that I speak for us all when I say that there would be no charitable agencies anywhere without dedicated volunteers.

A study of youth development indicates that youth volunteers are twice as likely to get better grades in school, 25% more likely to positively contribute to their family and community and twice as likely to continue their volunteer efforts as adults. Through volunteer initiatives, youth adopt mentors who lead by example, serve as a source of guidance and inspire young adults to achieve their goals with confidence.

This is why the American Red Cross is excited host the 1st Annual Youth Heroes Awards Breakfast in Statesboro at Georgia Southern University on Friday, March 7th and the 2nd Annual Youth Heroes Awards Breakfast at Savannah State University on Friday, April 11th.

During the awards breakfast, we will also honor two local community leaders, Chris Yaughn from Fostering Bulloch at the Statesboro event and Cathy Hill, Vice President of Georgia Power Coastal Georgia Region in Savannah.

Corporate, Individual, Table Sponsorships and Donations are available for both events. Please consider supporting the Youth Heroes Breakfast today! Sponsorships, Tickets and Tables are available NOW! to Sponsor in Savannah CLICK HERE. To Sponsor in Statesboro CLICK HERE. For more information call 912-651-5300 or esther.sheppard@redcross.org

Due to Chris's ongoing health challenges in 2014 the following changes are now in place!

The following changes to the Service Dog Program for 1Boy4Change have taken effect as of January 13, 2014.

• Service Dogs will ONLY be certified by the Service Dog Program Board of Directors.
• Service Dog certification will be for "Owner Trained Service Dog Teams" only! 
• 1Boy4Change will NO LONGER train and place service dogs - we will continue to work with our families and veterans, but will no longer accept new clients UNLESS it is an Owner Trained Service Dog Team for certification.
• Fees for Service Dog Certification through 1Boy4Change is $300.00 - this covers the your dog's service dog vest, ID card and paperwork.
