Now Happening!
To our friends and supporters, we are honored and excited to announce that we have been chosen to participate in a special charitable giving campaign
sponsored and funded by Target.
And you have the chance to help direct a portion of Target’s donation to us! Now through March 31st vote for us through the Target Circle program to help determine how
Target’s donation will be divvied up.

We’re asking our supporters to help us make the most of this incredible opportunity. Every vote counts to help us receive a portion of the available Target funds
as we continue to uplift the lives of urban children and youth.
Don’t forget, as you earn more votes,
you can keep voting multiple times during the campaign!
Thank you for your support, and we encourage you to share your support for us
