A Big Thought turns to action as Dallas-area children lead service projects | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | News: Education: "A child might experience something that Big Thought has helped to happen along the way or caused to happen, but when they go home they say, 'Oh, Mom, Dad, I made an X-Y-Z,' ' Big Thought president and CEO Gigi Antoni said. 'It's hard to connect sometimes our work to us because we're in a lot of ways invisible down on the ground.'

That's beginning to change.

Big Thought teamed with the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee to create SLANT 45, an education-through-public-service initiative that organized more than 44,000 children in more than 446,000 hours of community service in 2010."
