There are more homeless children than ever before in our own community. Many of these children don’t have access to books, games and other materials that are essential for their healthy development and success in school and in life. ADD A STATEMENT OF HOW FUNDS WILL BE USED. EXAMPLE: (Through the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children Walk On, money will be raised to provide local homeless children with a Bright Space – a dedicated learning area where homeless children can enjoy the magic of childhood while gaining necessary skills that will help them do well in school and beyond.)
Bright Horizons is the world’s leading provider of employer – sponsored child care and early education. Through its support of the nonprofit Bright Horizons Foundation for Children, Bright Horizons teachers are helping thousands of homeless children, including those in our own community, prepare for success in school and in life.
