Our History
- In 1995, Diane Christian was struck by
the notion that so many children in our society are in 'need'. She
noted that their needs are not always obvious and, as a consequence,
are often overlooked. In a time when everyone is so involved in their
own busy lives, it's easy to ignore the sometimes, indiscernible needs
of children.
-
- Although most people feel
sympathetic to children in 'need' they usually view them as someone
else's child. Diane felt that we all have an obligation to provide for
our community's children. Because of that responsibility, she
established Someone Else's Child Foundation.
-
- The initial concept for Someone
Else's Child (SEC) was to provide support for children in 'need'
through donations that were made in the name or in the memory of a
child.
-
- The organization has evolved over the
years to encompass the concept of children helping children.

Today, Someone Else's Child is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization that inspires and encourages children to become involved
in their community by sponsoring events where children actively participate in
helping other children.
