Are you ready to ROCK? No, I’m not inviting you to another concert. I AM, however, inviting you to participate in EECM’s summer fundraising campaign: Reach Out to City Kids (ROCK). Every year, between May 15th and June 30th, EECM focuses its attention and resources on reaching out to the at-risk children and youth in our community. As with the Have a Heart for Hunger campaign in February and March, the ROCK campaign is backed by an anonymous donor who will match all contributions made to Children and Youth Services, up to $10,000.
Why is the ROCK campaign important? Today, the youth in our community are growing up in a world that’s increasingly scarred by violence, crime, and substance abuse. They are forced to grow up too fast and must struggle constantly against the destructive forces that surround them. We strive each and every day to help these youth navigate the realities of daily life and envision a brighter future for themselves. Through our Children and Youth Services, we provide much-needed programs including educational support, one-on-one mentoring, substance abuse prevention, conflict resolution, goal setting and life management skills.
Our Children and Youth staff works with upwards of 1,000 students every year throughout our numerous programs. We rely heavily on the generosity of our loyal supporters to provide the necessary funding to continue these vital programs. If you would like to make a donation to the ROCK campaign, please call 412-361-5549 or send a check made payable to EECM to:
250 N. Highland Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15206
