2017 marks a remarkable milestone as it signifies the 10 year anniversary of Schools Count Corp. During this period your many efforts, have enabled thousands of children, and their families, access to school resources as well as the materials needed to rebuild their schools, homes and neighborhoods.
As I reflect back on the past ten years, whether serving those in Chicago, bringing supplies to tornado/hurricane devastated areas throughout the U.S. or supporting those in earthquake ravaged Haiti, the resilience and gratefulness of those served is real and quite profound. No amount of aid, large or small, is greeted by anything other than a warm hug, smile or note of thanks.
One other thought...I've never had the sense that those we've helped have ever sought to abuse a helping hand. Quite the contrary, there are those who we've supported who have pitched in and assisted on the various initiatives we have undertaken in addition to sharing supplies with others.
It is my privilege to ask you to continue your support of Schools Count in 2017. As has been our practice, over these past 10 years, 100% of all monetary donations will be used directly for the purchase of supplies for those in need.
Many thanks!
Dick
