Julie Linville's Why

In June 2020, I experienced a similar “racial awakening” as many people in this country. I read, watched and listened to everything I could regarding systemic and institutional racism. But, I’m an action-oriented person and wanted to do something that could really help people, not just read about the issues. I prayed about what I could do for a year and a half and then, FINALLY, I was introduced to Peak Beginnings.

Peak Beginnings is a FREE early childhood enrichment program for economically disadvantaged families who live in Apex. It nurtures ten, two-year-olds for three years, providing educational opportunities, play and art, as well as breakfast, lunch and free transportation to and from the program. Think about that: ten children who might otherwise not receive early childhood education are doted on, loved and fed for three years, then sent to kindergarten with the skills they need to be successful in school.

THIS is action. THIS is caring for children and showing them there are people who want them to succeed in this world. And THIS is my why. It’s why I’ve volunteered multiple hours and am sitting on the Board of Peak Beginnings. I think this program has the potential to be incredibly powerful in our community. All children deserve to be shown this kind of care and attention, setting them up to be successful in school and in life. Which means the lead teacher we hire is incredibly important!

We have the opportunity to hire an AMAZING teacher, but we can only do that through your donations. PLEASE support our dreams of hiring the perfect teacher TODAY. I mean it when I say no donation is too small.
