Join me in donating to an organization I love, Bay Area Urban Debate League!   BAUDL offers debate programming for Black, brown and urban students across the Bay Area, equipping young people with critical skills and offering a platform for urban youth to participate in national dialogue.   Your donation will help support programs that make a difference. Debate education is proven to increase high school graduation rates and achievement in both middle and high school. In a 2023 study on the impact of debate, a Harvard researcher concluded: “These results provide policymakers a rare promising program for reducing inequality in reading achievement, analytical thinking skills, and educational attainment among middle and high school students. Debate programs are cost-effective relative to other high-profile interventions and therefore have great potential for scalability.” BAUDL’s experience confirms these results—from 2020–2023, 100% of BAUDL seniors have graduated from high school.    I hope you can join me and make a donation at baudl.org/donate-to-baudl!

Now's the time to GiveBig to adult learners. Textbooks are vital for students in their education, but we know these textbooks represent even more to students. They represent independence, stability, and belonging.Your donation deeply impacts Literacy Source students. Help us raise $4,000 for student textbooks. $20 provides a textbook for one student for one quarter. $80 provides a textbook for one student for one year. $400 provides textbooks for an entire class for one quarter. $1,600 provides textbooks for an entire class for one year. A donation of any amount is instrumental in accomplishing our mission and helping students become independent, stable and have a sense of belonging.

Why am I raising money to donate books? Imagine a world where your zip code determines your access to stories, knowledge, and dreams. A staggering 82% of CPS elementary schools lack a functioning library, a basic necessity we often take for granted. The disparity grows as we learn that libraries exist in only 10% of primarily Black schools and 21% in Latinx schools. Now, picture a child's home. In 61% of low-income families, not a single age-appropriate book graces their shelves. Yet, studies show that children growing up in homes with at least twenty books gain an additional three years of schooling compared to their peers from bookless environments. Books are more than just paper and ink. They are windows to new worlds, bridges to immense possibilities, and the keys to unlocking untapped potential. Join me in turning the page on educational inequality. Your donation to Working in the Schools (WITS) can light up countless lives, one book at a time.

Contributing to our "Keep a Child in School" fundraising effort is a step toward a better future. Imagine the effects of educating children and fostering their intellectual development. No child's education should be jeopardized; thus, every effort—no matter how small—is crucial. By working together, we are laying the groundwork for the future's knowledge, abilities, and possibilities. Together, let's rewrite people's futures because education is a fundamental right, not simply a privilege. Your kindness can change a child's life, allowing them to dream big and accomplish even greater things.

Support Students 🤝 Donate School Supplies On Aug. 19, nearly 25,000 Springfield Public Schools students will come to school eager to learn. However, not all of them will have the supplies they need due to lack of resources. To help support students and their families, SPS is launching Ready. Set. Supply!, its annual campaign to collect school supply donations so all SPS students can start the school year off right. "A new school year is an exciting time for students but it can also be costly for families, especially those with multiple school-aged children," explained Jessica Blake, coordinator of community relations. "We want to help fill those gaps and make sure every student has the necessary supplies to be success ready." Community members and organizations can help by donating school supplies or making financial contributions. Visit sps.org/readysetsupply for list of needed supplies and a link to donate. 🔗sps.org/readysetsupply
