Loukoumi, a fluffy little lamb, is the main character from the Loukoumi book series that wants to make the world a better place. The Loukoumi Make A Difference Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks to teach children to follow Loukoumi's lead and to make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of others.
Formed with the consent of the New York State Department of Education, the Foundation educates children about career choices, helps them give back to their communities, and teaches them about Bullying awareness and prevention in conjunction with Pacer's National Bullying Prevention Center. The Foundation also teaches children to be philanthropic by engaging them in programs and events where they do good deeds and raise funds for charities. In addition, the Foundation sponsors Dream Day, where it makes a child's career dreams come true. Some of the children's dreams the Foundation made come true include playing soccer with New York's Red Bulls, cooking on television with celebrity chefs Rachael Ray and Cat Cora, sitting inside NASA's mission control and watching the Phoenix spaceship land on Mars, acting with your favorite actress, spending a day at the NY Giants Training Camp, and singing on Broadway.
