L.A.C.E.R. AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS CELEBRATE 27 YEARS OF SERVING THE YOUTH OF LOS ANGELES.
This year in celebration of our 27th Anniversary, we ask for your support for our Year-End Fundraiser Campaign to raise $80,000 by December 31st.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT WE RAISED $26,264.49 !
Here are 4 ways your gift will make a considerable difference this year:
1. ARTS: Costumes
The L.A.C.E.R. performing arts programming features music and dance classes led by excellent teaching artists across our eight sites. Students learn, rehearse, and perform throughout the year in a wide range of shows at their school, in the community, in major venues, and in competitions, as well as in events organized for all the L.A.C.E.R. students across Los Angeles. We have a huge gap to cover the costumes for their performances each year. Help our students look their best in every performance.
2. ATHLETICS: Personalised Sports Jerseys
The middle school athletics program provides intramural team sports and competitions (equal and parallel) for girls and boys. We would love to provide the L.A.C.E.R. athletes sports jerseys that they can wear when they go off campus for a game at another L.A.C.E.R. site, and when they are on campus representing their school and the program. Help us bring a sense of pride to our student-athletes by providing sports jerseys.
3. ACADEMICS: Color Printers and Ink
L.A.C.E.R. provides access to tutoring and the homework help they need with space and supplies to work on school projects. For most students, L.A.C.E.R. is the only place where they have access to a computer, the internet, and a printer. However, our printers are out of date, and students would benefit greatly from a new color printer at each school site to produce high-quality colorful school projects. Help a student reach academic success with access to a color printer.
4. HEALTH AND WELLNESS: Water Coolers
All of our school sites have water fountains throughout the campus, few are actually working or safe to drink from. The L.A.C.E.R. programs offer a safe space for all, free classes, and a healthy snack - we'd also like to provide fresh cold water that our students feel safe to drink throughout the day. Help us provide students with fresh water to drink
