As many of you know, I've been on the Board of Aspire! for the last few years, this year taking on the Vice Chair position.  Aspire! provides a free after school program to help kids in grades 3-5 with their reading. Aspire! provides a vital service to socially and economically disadvantaged families in Arlington and it is critical now more than ever to continue and expand the program - we rely on fundraising like this to keep the program running.  

My goal is to raise $2,000 through this page to help Aspire!'s kids.

By donating here, you'll also get:

• A ticket to our virtual MASKerade celebration on Thursday, October 22 from 7-8pm (mark your calendar now and be on the lookout for your ticket package in early October)
• Entry into our live raffle for a bunch of cool prizes (even if you can't make the event)
• Donate $100 or more before Sep 12 and you'll pay a meal forward to an Aspire! family, compliments of Ted's Bulletin.  

Join me in helping Aspire's 100 kids who are at risk of falling behind even further with distance learning.  More than 70% of their parents have lost their jobs due to Covid, and many don't have reliable internet access at home.  Aspire! is moving mountains to open their locations to provide in-person programming this fall, to ensure their kids can keep up with their online classes and homework.  We need your support more than ever.
