Background:
Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone, collectively known as *NSYNC, founded Challenge for the Children in 1999. The main priority will be to offer financial support to children's programs and charities throughout the country.
CFTC's focus will include funding schools who have suffered educational budget cutbacks for sports programs and music education. Special attention will be paid to children's healthcare causes including, but not limited to pediatric AIDS, adoption and foster care, teen pregnancy, alcohol/drug programs and the fight against teen violence.
There is a responsibility to come to the aid of our nation's youth. It is the mission of Challenge for the Children to answer the call by contributing to these programs.
