10 for 10 Campaign

A Call to Action To The Business Community:  Good Things for Chidlren Neighborhood by Neighborhood

10 critical assets or "good things" are what ALL DC neighborhoods need for children to reach their full potential.

1. Schools
2. Libraries
3. Recreation
4. Healthy Food
5. Parks
6. Health Care
7. Banks
8. Transportation
9. Restaurants
10. Retail

When children live within 5 miles of a library, it increases their chances for academic success. Recreation centers can get children moving and keep them healthy, but they are also assets that support neighborhoods, by giving children safe places for play.

In partnership with local businesses, we want to ensure children have access to assets like recreation centers, playgrounds, libraries, (and other good assets) that help make ALL DC neighborhoods good places for children to grow up.
