Greetings ,
Every dollar raised through this fundraiser goes directly toward expanding opportunities, ensuring safety, and building brighter futures for our youth. Additional funding will allow our program to grow in three critical ways:
1. Expanding Access and Reach
- Remove financial barriers: Provide full and partial scholarships so no child is turned away due to an inability to pay.
- Increase enrollment: Open new slots to reduce our waiting list and welcome more youth into a safe, supportive environment.
- Extend program hours: Offer extended weekend and after-school hours during times when youth need engagement most.
2. Enhancing Program Quality
- Upgrade equipment and technology: Purchase modern learning tools, STEM kits, sports gear, and creative arts supplies.
- Hire and retain expert staff: Maintain low youth-to-staff ratios and provide specialized training in mentorship and mental health support.
- Enrich the curriculum: Introduce high-impact activities, including career readiness workshops, guest speaker series, and field trips.
3. Strengthening Holistic Support
- Provide nutritious meals: Expand our daily snack and meal program so every participant is well-nourished.
- Offer mental health resources: Bring in counselors and wellness experts to support our youth's emotional and social well-being.
- Secure safe transportation: Provide reliable transit to and from the program for families in need. To contribute go to: detroitmagicchild.org
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Steven Dye
