Lend A Hand

Plenty of people say that they can change the world. I think the more appropriate way to say it, without losing that feeling of idealism or optimism, is to say that 'I want to do my part to help, to see to it that I can lend a helping hand.' That is exactly what Schools Count Corp is all about, just trying to help some people in need.

March is that time of the year where we gear up to assess the needs of schools we serve and their nearly 15,000 students. That's right, we reach that many children. SCC provides art supplies, readers, pencils, school uniforms, binders, notebooks, crayons, winter coats, loose leaf paper, folders and more to those who might otherwise go without. We also build at least one elementary school band program a year. This year we'll put instruments in the hands of the Medgar Evers students.

You can lend a hand by making a tax deductible contribution to affect this change. You should know that for every dollar you donate, the entire dollar goes towards purchasing the needed supplies and resources. No money is ever used to administer our charity. You can be certain your generous donation goes where it's intended...to the children.

To make a donation you can do so by going to our website at www.schoolscountcorp.org and making the donation online. If you prefer, you can make a check payable to Schools Count Corp. and mail it to Dick Flesher, 14004 John Humphrey Dr., Orland Park, IL. 60462.

Thank you for 'lending a hand!' Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
