Frontline Initiative is an organization committed to confronting some of the most challenging struggles faced by young people today. Our organization is comprised of two divisions, Poison Free and Hero Program. Please make a difference this holiday season by making a tax deductible donation to Beaver County’s Not-for-Profit Business of the Year. Your support will help the lives of many in need within our community in a sustainable way.

In 2009 the Hero Program has been able to provide thousands of dollars in financial support, two vehicles and much needed hospital bed to our Hero Families. This support has helped to ease the financial strain put on families of terminally ill children by filling in the gaps where insurance falls short. Please consider donating to Frontline Initiative to help support Hero families during this holiday season. Your support will make a big difference in the lives of families with terminally ill children.

Poison Free is ramping up to expand its Growing Roots community garden program by 400 percent in the coming year. This year proved to be such a success in our first year that we have been asked to expand the program to other housing communities within Beaver County in 2010. Poison Free’s Creative Technology program has provided great opportunities for students to get exposure to cutting edge technology and continues to be our largest fund raiser. Our website designs can now been seen for businesses all over the United States. See examples at www.poisonfree.org.

You can help support our initiatives to support those on the frontlines of life with a donation made payable to Frontline Initiative.

Thank you for helping make a difference.

Frontline Initiative Co-Founder Brooks Canavesi was recently nominated for the Jefferson Awards for Public Service.



Nomination submitted by one of our volunteers

Description of how his efforts impact the community:
Brooks created a new paradigm of social service delivery. By meeting the population’s needs at a level where it had meaning to the participant, he was able to engage those who would have otherwise been marginalized by existing models of social service delivery systems. Young people are learning to use technology in their housing units. The very young are receiving drug-free musically interactive presentations schools. Residents of public housing units are growing their own organic produce. Families and their terminally ill children are being financially supported.

Short story that demonstrates the character and qualities of the individual and his volunteer efforts:
Brooks’ first efforts centered on proving to a friend that positive peer pressure can impact people’s lives using creative means. Because of that effort, an international T-shirt company was founded which delivers drug, alcohol and tobacco free messages to the youth of the US and UK. From this, the rest of Frontline Initiative’s programs came in to fruition. Brooks, a trained IT specialist and financial advisor, tirelessly encourages everyone to meet citizens at their level and together create paths to excellence.
