About 7049.info
Jack Williams started Wednesday's Child in 1981. Over 575 special needs children have been featured on Wednesday's Child on WBZ-TV4, in Boston, and over 75% have been placed in adoptive homes. In December 1997 Williams was honored at the White House by President Bill Clinton and the First Lady with the first Adoption 2002 Excellence Award. Williams also received a Presidential Citation from President Ronald Reagan for Wednesday's Child in June 1986 in the Rose Garden at the White House. Each week, Wednesday's Child features a special needs child who is in search of a permanent home. Williams is responsible for raising more than $3,000,000 for the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, a non-profit agency that matches special needs children with adoptive families. In April 2000, Williams created the Jack Williams Endowment for Wednesday's Child, a 501(C) (3) charity to ensure continuing financial support for special needs adoption. Jack and his wife Marci donate their time and operate the Jack Williams Endowment for Wednesday's Child with little overhead out of an office in their home. Master.com.content
