==History==
In 1992, teacher Jeff Leeland and his wife Kristi found themselves in a desperate situation. His nine-month-old son Michael needed a bone marrow transplant, but insurance provided by his new job did not cover the $200,000 cost. At the time, Jeff was the teacher of an adaptive physical education class. Dameon, one of Jeff's students heard about his teacher's dilemma, and made a gift of $60 to help. Dameon's $donation started a chain reaction of compassion by the kids and staff at Kamiakin Junior High. The community rallied behind these students and in four weeks raised $227,000. Michael received his lifesaving transplant. These students created a future model for students to become catalysts of the same spirit of compassion and contribution in their own communities by helping children in medical need, and in 1995, Sparrow Clubs was established.〔(Sparrow Clubs "About Us" page )〕
