The goal of Strategic Financial Partners in creating a large community event like the TUCI Trot was to partner with an organization whose sole purpose is to affect positive change in our community.  The Urban Child Institute has a track record of  identifying issues within our community. What is more important, however, is the action that they are taking in response to that knowledge. Change cannot occur without action. We invite you to learn more about TUCI, the challenges facing children in our community, and what TUCI, and ultimately all of us, can do about it.
