Goal
The Snack Sack wraparound support is based upon four pillars: Foundational Needs, Positive Identity, Crisis Prevention, and Spreading Joy. Sending Snack Sack kids to see a Disney movie where the main character and heroine looks like them builds positive identity!
The media that Black and Brown children have access to has a huge impact on their sense of self -- and what could be more absorbing than watching a movie on the big screen in a theater!
Representation matters*. That's why The Snack Sack is delighted to be sponsoring movie tickets for Snack Sack kids to see The Little Mermaid in theaters across the nation!
With your help, The Snack Sack will cover the cost of the tickets for the children and a caregiver for an unforgettable cinema experience. Every child deserves a night (or afternoon) at the movies!
*Learn more! Read: "Why Representation Matters and Why It’s Still Not Enough," by Kevin Leo Yabut Nadal, Ph.D. Positive media representation can be helpful in increasing self-esteem for people of marginalized groups (especially youth). Representation in educational curricula and social media can provide validation and support, especially for youth of marginalized groups.
