Dear John,

This summer we are celebrating our supporters -- because without their support -- we wouldn’t make the same impact across Texas. Because of your generosity, we work to ensure that young people have access to the resources and information they need to live their best lives.

One of the best ways to support our organization is through the CART Club. The CART Club is our sustaining donors program. Signing up is easy! Just use our secure system to set up automatic monthly payments in the amount of your choosing. CART Club members receive special benefits and are the foundation of our individual donor program. We cannot thank CART Club members enough for their contribution to our mission.

One of our CART Club members, Kim Wolf shares below why she supports the Texas Campaign…

Texas Campaign (TXC): Hi Kim! Thank you so much for your support. Please introduce yourself.

Kim Wolf (KW): My name is Kim Wolf and I am a Managing Director at Accenture, focused on how technology can transform healthcare and public service.

TXC: The Texas Campaign’s mission is to reduce unintended teen pregnancy through research, advocacy, collaboration and training. Our vision is that every Texas teen has access to the information and resources needed to prevent unintended pregnancy. Can you tell me why that resonates with you?

KW:  Texas Campaign’s mission of advocacy and training -- supported by data -- resonates with me. Education has always been an enabler of opportunity, or at least a way to provide a grounding in what choices exist.  Every teen has a bright future, but not every teen has the same chance to achieve that future.

TXC: Can you tell us how your own work or experience intersects with our mission?

KW:  One of the key things I’ve been seeing in healthcare is something we call the “social determinants of health.”  This really means that where you are from and how you grew up influences your health as much, and often more, than your genetics. The mission of Texas Campaign is focused on moving the needle for teens in Texas to minimize how social factors influence the likelihood that they have the education they need to make decisions that impact their short and long-term health and opportunities.

TXC: We are working toward a more empowering approach to adolescent reproductive health, are you seeing the same thing in your sector? 

KW:  While I’m not focused on the adolescent community, empowering individuals through education and preventing chronic conditions versus focusing on treatment is 100% a trend across healthcare. 

TXC: Lastly, why should others consider giving to support our mission? Is there anything else you would like to add?

KW: Supporting the Texas Campaign as a CART member provides me with the opportunity to make a difference to Texas teens, both by being an adult and enabling other adults in their communities, to listen to teens on potential awkward questions about their reproductive health.
