Tuesday's Children is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to support families who have been affected by terrorism, military conflict or mass violence.^[1]

Tuesday's Children was founded on September 18, 2001 by citizens of Cedar City, Utah, following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The organization initially raised funds for the American Red Cross, which were used to support families affected by the tragedy.^[2]

Tuesday's Children's service population includes:

• 9/11 victims and responders^[3]
• families of fallen post-9/11 military service members^[4]
• international youth and global victims of terrorism and mass violence^[5]
• local communities recovering from large-scale tragedies and mass violence^[6]
• post-9/11 military children and families who have lost a service member, regardless of cause of death, branch of service, status of duty, discharge status or geographic location^[7]
• teenagers and young adults from around the world who have lost a loved one to terrorism, violent extremism or war (Project COMMON BOND)^[8]
• An original song, “Ballerina” to honor the memory of the lost Firefighters, Police Officers and professional ballerina lost in the 9/11 disaster. A CD recorded in memory of this tragic event. All profits were donated to Tuesday's Children.^[9]
