Mission
Children's fulfills its mission to make life better for children in part by working to educate officials and the public on matters of healthcare, education, safety, and security.
Children's is a founding member of the Coalition for North Texas Children, a nonpartisan educational alliance of national, state and local nonprofit organizations working together to solve the serious problems children face. These efforts extend into the areas of access to children's health insurance, child abuse, pediatric AIDS, childhood obesity, and community health and wellness.
Children's connects uninsured families with the resources available to receive insurance. Children's also leads the Dallas-area SAFE KIDS Coalition to raise awareness about childhood injury prevention.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
