CARVER ANNUAL APPEAL 100 DONOR CHALLENGE IS RESOUNDING SUCCESS!

On behalf of the Carver families and Carver staff, we wish to thank all our friends, family members, colleagues and Port Chester community members for your generous support toward helping us realize this Donor Challenge gift. As previously described, two long time friends of Carver pledged $25,000 if we could raise 100 Annual Appeal donations in the last eight weeks of fiscal year which ended June 30th. WITH YOUR HELP WE DID IT!

We launched our Campaign with a $5 donation from a 10 year old boy, wrapped up the Campaign with proceeds from a bake sale held by a group of teenagers and in between received 127 donations. Thank you!

The proceeds from this Challenge will be used to support our summer programs at Carver including the Summer Day Program, the new Summer Sports Program and the new arts initiative “Carver Creates”.
