Welcome to episode 3 of the What's up Charlotte podcast. I am so excited to have Justin Ellis from Thompson Child & Family Focus. Please Don't hold it against Justin, he talks down about Charlotte sports. He may or may not be a New England Patriots fan. Once you look past that, you will get to hear what amazing things he and Thomposon's are doing for this community.

Thompson's is a leading provider of clinical and prevention services for children and families across the Carolinas. They have some of the best programs that I have heard of, but what really amazes me is how Will Jones their President has run that organization like a business not a non-profit. It has really allowed them to increase their reach and drive more opportunities for them to help these families.

I am also excited to talk about what I am doing with them to provide these children a little bit of "old school" fun! They deserve to be kids in a world that has given them no opportunities to have the same experiences most kids get to have.

If you like what you hear and want to get involved. go on their website www.thompsoncff.org. I can promise you that you will get so much out of what you can do for these kids and families.
