When my family and I set out to travel the globe for our TV show “Family Style”, we made the decision that our trip should be about more than just family bonding and vacationing. We knew that this trip was an opportunity to make real change in the world.
Before we left for the trip we began fundraising in any way we could, and on our journey we discovered a plethora of charities and organizations that we still support to this day. Please take a moment to read about some of these causes we found to be important, and help to support them as well if you have the means.
