If you know a child who struggles in school and then falls further back during the summer, you can imagine how much greater the struggle is in the fall, it may feel hopeless.  This is a significant problem for our youth and for our future.  We’d like to share a great opportunity from one of our favorite organizations and show how Crowd Funding can work in and for our community, to bridge the gap, just in time for summer.

R’Club provides full day preschool, before and after school, and extended learning programs for over 30 years!  These high quality services  support over 3,500 youth each year.

The Summer Bridge project is based on proven programs that overcome the loss of skills that takes place between school years.  With summer near, and over 800 children coming to R’Club, they need to provide “Summer Bridge Activities” books for kids in their summer camps. Your donation will help buy those needed books in time for summer camp in mid-June.  The best way we can give these children something to read and smile about when they come to camp on June 17 is by raising the money to supply these books.  We need to a strong showing of donations in order for all the students to get their own books and both PNC and BB&T will provide a match, up to $2000 each.

With your helpful donation we can reach our goal.  With your added ability to promote this cause via your social networks, your dollar goes even further. It’s easy, effective, and a great way to spread the word about a meaningful cause…raising money for children to learn over summer and close the GAP!

Visit www.CauseToFund.com and look for the R’Club project, in order to watch our video and see how your donation can help!  Check them out, you’ll be impressed.
