Story
The communities Horton's Kids serves are among the most under-resourced in all of Washington, DC. Wellington Park and Stanton Oaks are profoundly impacted by decades of disinvestment and barriers to opportunity. For 33 years, Horton's Kids has been fighting inequality to ensure every child graduates from high school ready to succeed in college, career, and life. The organization operates two Community Resource Centers, reaches 600 participants and their families, and offers a comprehensive array of programs. The impact of these programs is dramatic: Participants who enroll in Horton's Kids programs are twice as likely to graduate from high school compared to their peers living in the same communities. Horton's Kids has a goal to raise more than $250,000 this fall. My goal is to raise $2000 toward this goal. I am asking you to join me and create lasting change. The money we raise together will have an immediate impact on Horton's Kids programs. Please, consider making a donation.
