You are invited to join the team of changemakers that is building education equity, expanding teen employment access, and cultivating resilient leaders in our community.

 

Your contribution to this much-anticipated fundraiser and community event will make a significant difference to the youth and the families who call Family Matters “a home away from home.” We are looking forward to a day filled with stories, music, carnival games, and food, and we so hope that you can join us.

 

The Walk-A-Thon will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at Family Matters (7731 N. Marshfield Avenue). We are planning for 200 attendees and have set a fundraising goal of $75,000.  All proceeds will fund Family Matters’ programs:

 

• The Family Matters School, a specialized K-3rd grade school designed for children who thrive outside of a traditional classroom

• Partners in Learning, a tutor/mentoring program

• Project RISE, a teen job skills training and leadership development initiative

• Community Engagement, an initiative which brings the community together to work on various projects

 

We are deeply grateful for your donation and for your support of our work.
