As a Board member, former Board President, and mother of three, I am passionate about the Alliance Center for Education and its mission of ensuring educational opportunity for all.  Part of my service includes helping the Alliance Center through our annual giving campaign. I have made my annual gift of $1,000 and am asking you to join me in helping to raise an amount equal to that through donations from family, friends and colleagues. The Alliance Center's long-standing commitment to improving the future for the underserved families and students in the greater Charlotte area is an integral part of our early education system. For more than 80 years, they have lived this 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.
