CREATE SUMMER MAGIC

Do you remember your best summer ever? Did you learn to swim, play ball with friends, or form lifelong friendships at camp? Summer is the perfect time for children to explore and have fun, but for some, the end of the school year can limit their access to recreational and educational activities that help them learn, grow, and thrive. This is where you can make a difference!

Your dollars can help in numerous ways:

  • $100 can fund snacks for summer programming

  • $250 can help fund a summer field trip

  • $500 can fund a portion of transportation costs

*Or, if you have the capacity to give at a higher level, a gift of $5,000, $10,000, or $20,000 would help us profoundly in continuing to meet the increasing needs.
