You Can Make a Difference

I am often asked where we get the supplies that we provide to the various Chicago and New Orleans schools. There are two sources, those recycled from area schools (in our 'Go Green' Program) and supplies purchased from stores because of your generous cash contributions.

You name it and we've done it in terms of fundraisers; bowling parties, soccer-tennis KICK competition, concerts (A Cappella Underground and Mardi Gras), car washes, chili dinners and more. Our plans are to continue to host a number of these.

I want to reach out to those of you who share our desire to help children in need. There are plenty of kids out there who are motivated to learn and whose parents can't afford various school supplies. We want to help any child who cares about improving their life through obtaining an education. I hope I have conveyed the idea that many people, in the schools we've served, have seen a real improvement in the growth of their students.

The more students we serve, the better. I'd like to ask you to run your own fundraiser. Run a car wash, do a bake sale, host a bowling party, sell Schools Count Corp wristbands, putting on a garage sale or creating your own unique means of raising money for our charity and, in turn, directly helping students.

Please consider pitching-in and running your very own fundraiser for Schools Count Corp. I'd love to hear from you.

Many thanks,
Dick
