Dear Friends,
Grace Sander (pictured above) was in 8th grade when she realized that Pass It Along would give her the opportunity to change the world. At Pass It Along, Grace has become a member of Service Corps, faithfully served at Tilly’s Kids and SCARC Bowling and has completed over 300 volunteer hours.
After her first meeting Grace immediately felt accepted. She fell in love with the idea of helping others and making a difference using her own unique talents and skills. Just like Grace, our teenagers are discovering their greatness and turning their ideas of change into reality.
“Pass It Along saved my life. When I was at my lowest point, this program gave me so much perspective and something to wake up for every morning. I have made some of my best friends, mentors and memories through Pass It Along and have been given so many incredible opportunities. It has become my identity. Pass It Along always finds a way to make me feel that my talents and gifts are important.” – Grace Sander
It is Pass It Along's vision that every teenager will have the tools and opportunities to embrace themselves and their power to make a difference in the world.
We need your help in furthering our mission and turning our vision into reality by making a tax-deductible contribution to our Annual Appeal Campaign goal of $25,000. This amount will help deliver free programs to thousands of local teenagers in our area.
On behalf of Pass It Along and all those we serve, may you and your families have a healthy and happy holiday season and New Year!
**Please make sure fill in the Donation Dedication "On Behalf of" your cause. Ex: Annual Appeal, Sue Earl City Fund, Gina's Promise.**
Our Monthly Giving program, Circle of Hope, recognizes those donors that give on a recurring basis. Donors that make a commitment to providing reliable and long term support to our organization give us the greatest hope of continuing our mission to help teenagers become the best versions of themselves! We offer three (3) safe & secure options for making recurring contributions:
You will receive an initial thank you letter once you are signed up for recurring donations. At the end of the year a letter will be sent to you summarizing your donations for your records.
