Back to School
Dear Friend,
By the time this issue hits your mailbox, the new school year will be upon us. If
you have school-aged children, you are preparing for another school year, and
we’re no different! It’s time for Brenda – and all our children - to go back to
school, and that means preparing them with school supplies, backpacks, and
clothes needed for a successful year.
Because of your support, Brenda is
on her way to fulfilling her goals and
dreams. Because of your support, Brenda is able to focus on being a kid—doing
well in school, forming healthy relationships, and dreaming of a bright future.
This is our 45th year of preparing our
children for going back to school, and
every year, we rely on friends like you
to help. Your support means more than
you might realize, and your investment
pays back dividends in the lives of our
children, including Brenda. With your
help, Brenda, her siblings, and all of our
kids will have the educational resources
and loving support of teaching parents
and other staff to set them on the path
to success.
Please consider making a gift today. Your gift of $10, $15, $25 or more will help
give our kids the things they need in order to go back to school prepared for
the year. You may give using the enclosed envelope or securely online at www.
boysandgirlscountry.org. (Choose “Back to School” as the “Purpose of Gift”.)
Brenda’s favorite scripture is Matthew, 5:13-16, which encourages us to be the
salt of the earth and the light of the world. You do just that with your support,
and we thank you!
Sincerely,
Lou Palma
Executive Director
P.S. School starts August 22. Gifts received will help feed, clothe, and buy supplies and books for our children.
