History

Tuesday's Children was founded on September 18, 2001 by citizens of Cedar City, Utah, following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The organization initially raised funds for the American Red Cross, which were used to support families affected by the tragedy.[2]

  • international youth and global victims of terrorism and mass violence[5]
  • local communities recovering from large-scale tragedies and mass violence[6]
  • post-9/11 military children and families who have lost a service member, regardless of cause of death, branch of service, status of duty, discharge status or geographic location[7]
  • teenagers and young adults from around the world who have lost a loved one to terrorism, violent extremism or war (Project COMMON BOND)[8]
