Ounce of Prevention Fund

Our favorite part of making this video: hearing what these little ones want to be when they grow up.

No one said "producer" or "film maker" though. Shame.

"I want to be an ice cream man/cowgirl/race car driver/painter." Their dreams are simple. And it's just as simple to help make them a reality. Please watch as children share their dreams and donate to the Ounce to help make dreams a reality for all young children. https://youtu.be/eoUwJplaOrU
