Strong Kids Campaign Update
We are still looking to find 85 more new donors to make our goal for our Annual Campaign. Your donation, large or small, can make a difference with youth such as a young boy who comes to us for tutoring, he's growing up without a father because Dad is in jail for 14 years, or a girl that we tutor at her grandmother's home because they don't have a means of transportation. Our kids need you, our future needs you.
