I serve on the Board of an organization I feel passionately about, Alliance Center for Education, and part of my service includes participating in our Board Giving campaign where they ask us not only to make our own financial contribution, but to gain the support of others. I have made my annual gift and ask that you join me and consider supporting as well. What has really drawn me to the Alliance is the long-standing commitment to improving the future for the underserved families and students in Mecklenburg County. For more than 80 years, they have lived the mission and changed the lives of thousands in our area, with a focus on creating a world where a family's income doesn't determine a child's outcome. For more information on the Alliance Center for Education and ways you can be involved, please visit ac4ed.org. If you would prefer to make your contribution by cash or check, please contact Katie Wayne, Development Director, at 704.371.7401 or katie@ac4ed.org.
