The Children's Trust faced a profound threat in 2008 - it would disappear unless voters reauthorized it. This would eliminate hundreds of programs serving hundreds of thousands of children. However, the campaign's leaders had learned painful lessons from previous efforts. In 1988, voters approved establishing a children's board but then rejected funding it. This taught them they must show how the programs benefit the entire community. The Trust's chairman, David Lawrence, drew on these experiences to make the case for reauthorization during an economic downturn, showing its impact went beyond just helping children.
