GoKid is grateful. We are grateful for you, for those who have supported us, and for each other. Thanksgiving provides the right opportunity to share the reasons for our thankfulness with our supporters.
For Our Amazing Users and The Good, They’ve Done
GoKid is thankful for our users. Our users have scheduled over half a million carpools on GoKid, which means our users have saved over 10 million miles of driving and reduced over 9 million pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere.
For Our Great Team
GoKid is thankful for our great team, who is committed to the success of GoKid. Our team brings not just hard work but also creative problem-solving and innovative ideas for improvement. Being able to work with others who share a passion for making a difference is a huge bonus!
For Our Mentors and Investors
GoKid is thankful to our mentors and investors for believing in GoKid and supporting our growth. We owe much of our success to you!
For Our Opportunities
GoKid is thankful for our unique opportunity for work that connects our skill sets with our passions. It’s not every day when your talents and passions are in sync, and here at GoKid, we get both every day. Our founder, Stefanie, is a mom who understands driving fatigue like most American parents. Her understanding as a mom, her experience as an entrepreneur and digital manager, and her passion for the environment aligned with the creation of GoKid.
For Our Partners
GoKid is thankful to be ending one decade and moving into the next one with fantastic partners. By partnering with TeamSnap and Sports Engine, GoKid is able to provide additional carpooling options to busy families. Plus, GoKid Connect is helping schools reduce traffic, lessen CO2 emissions, and save families time. These great school partners include Lodestar, Christ Presbyterian Academy, San Francisco Day School, Discovery Charter School, Detroit Prep, Detroit Achievement Academy, and Washtenaw International High School and Middle Academy among others.
For Our Recognition
GoKid is thankful for the recognition our app is receiving. It’s important to stay humble, but it is also important to take pride in the things you believe in. We are proud of what we have created, and we are thankful that others are recognizing what we have worked so hard to create. For example, in addition to awards we have earned in previous years, in 2019, we received the PlanetM grant for school mobility pilots in Michigan from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and were invited to participate in the Houston Smart Cities program.
We wish you and yours a happy & healthy Thanksgiving!
