From Hank and Edy:
Friends! We’d like to share some information about a Boston mentoring program we are actively involved with, called ABLE (Access Better Learning and Education).
The program is a non-profit focused on helping Boston's at-risk youth graduate from high school. We are hoping to make this goal a reality by pairing our students with four-year sponsors who provide one-on-one guidance and financial support for tuition-based education. Ultimately, we hope to provide these students with an education that will afford them the opportunity to pursue higher education and succeed in the workforce. The program was started several years ago by one of Hank’s co-workers, based on a successful New York City non-profit called SSP (Student Sponsor Partners). We each have a rising 9th grade mentee and are psyched about playing a role in their lives. Along with mentoring, we’re also running the organization’s fundraising campaign!
ABLE’s efforts are financed solely through the funds we personally donate or raise through our networks. This is a great cause and all donations go directly the kids. If you’re able to contribute any amount, it would be greatly appreciated! Your donation is, of course, completely tax deductible. We’ll take a donation of any size at our website, http://www.ableboston.org/donate or via checks payable to "Access Better Learning & Education". Our current campaign runs through Sept 10th. Either of us would be happy to answer any questions or tell you more about how sweet the organization is!
Thanks so much! Do it for the kids!
Hank & Edy
