Total Monies Donated: $584.30
On behalf of everyone at Futures for Children, I would like to thank you for your thoughtful and sincerely generous combined gift of $584.30 and congratulate your innovative approach to support. Annabeth should be proud of each of you and your charitable efforts on her behalf.
You would be amazed how far this amount can go in assuring that Native American children receive a quality education and learn leadership skills. The overwhelmingly positive responses to the FFC program from involved students inspire us to research and implement new and innovative educational techniques, as well as reach out to increasing numbers of Native American students and communities.
Today we are experiencing a higher rate of success in implementing our programs and services than ever before. 95-97% of Futures students graduated or were promoted this year, a majority of our students are seriously considering attending post-secondary institutions, and Futures mentors vigorously advocate their involvement in the Friendship program increasing in number to nearly 1800 this year from all over the world.
The success of Futures for Children is due to the support of people like Annabeth and you all, and we are encouraged to continue to provide excellent services and programs to benefit Native American children. Please be assured that your partnership is producing very effective results in improving the lives of so many. This is such a great satisfaction to all of us and we hope especially for you who help turn dreams into reality.
We would love to introduce you to Futures students and staff if you are ever in our part of the world. Thank you again so much for your wonderful gift, and we look forward to sharing with you stories of our ongoing success in the coming years. Check the Futures for Children website www.futuresforchildren.org for latest information, and if any of you would like to become a mentor to a Native American student, please contact me directly.
With great appreciation,
