Dear Boston Scholars Supporter:
We are coming off an exciting time for the program - our applications more than doubled from last year, and we held the second annual party with a purpose with much success! In addition, there are two great ways you can get involved today with the Boston Scholars Program: Become a mentor and Join our Half-Marathon team - read more about all of this news below.
Thank you for your support,
-- Boston Scholars Program Board of Directors
Two Great Volunteer Opportunities: Boston Scholars needs your help to continue to grow and support our scholars, and here are two great ways to volunteer your time to help make a difference...Be a Boston Scholars Mentor!
Boston Scholars are matched with individuals just like you, looking to make a positive difference in the life of child and perhaps even rediscover the kid who lives inside of you, again. By getting together a couple of hours every other week with a scholar, mentors build a one-to-one friendship with their Scholars through their advice, ideas and perspective which will assist in preparing Scholars for educational and career opportunities beyond high school. All we ask for is a 9 to 12 month commitment for a few hours every couple weeks - please email wendy@bostonscholars.org to find out more today!
Join the Boston Scholars Half-Marathon Team!
BSP Volunteers Jen Kirby and Scott Milam are organizing a team of runners to compete in the Big Lake Half-Marathon and raise money for our cause at the same time. Over 15 Boston Scholars supporters have already signed up to compete in this fun event on May 7 in Alton, NH and achieve a goal of $4,000 in donations -- enough for a 4 year scholarship for one of our Boston Scholars. Click here to visit the Boston Scholars Half-Marathon Team Website to learn more about the event, the people competing and to learn how to support the team.
Another Successful Party with a Purpose
Over 150 supporters and volunteers sipped complimentary Ketel One martinis at Sanctuary on March 5 to raise money for the Boston Scholars Program at the Second Annual Party with Purpose. In addition to the fabulous venue and cocktails, we held a live auction hosted by Erika Ebbel, Miss Massachusetts and Founder of the Whiz Kids Foundation, a partner organization. This event raised over $5,000 for the Boston Scholars Program to help fulfill our mission of "opening doors through educational opportunity" - thank you all for your generous support.(c) 2005, Boston Scholars Program, Inc., a non-profit organization
