The Adopt-A-Teen program was created to give organizations and potential donors the opportunity to directly affect the medical and/or mental health care of an individual teen in need. Depending on the amount that is pledged, an individual will know exactly how their gift will impact a local adolescent who has no health insurance and does not qualify for Medicaid.
We are asking for your help in supporting a local uninsured teen’s medical and/or mental health. Your participation does help prove that every person’s dollar does make a difference.
Did you know?
- Approximately 16,878 of our youth in Wake County have no health insurance.

Your tax deductible donation will help a local needy teen
Lack of mental and medical care impacts a young person’s ability to function. With everything those at this awkward age must deal with, why does their health and mental health have to be one of them?
