Today, we partnered with the Los Angeles Lakers in order to take 14 foster children to the game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers donated 20 tickets to Together We Rise. Four of the tickets were given to our interns as a thank you for their commitment and hard work. The other 16 tickets were donated to the Community Access Network (CAN) foster agency. The game is not quite over, but the kids are having a great time as we are typing this with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter and they are all to the right of us. Thanks again Lakers :)
FACT: The interns and kids made it on the Jumbotron!
Together We Rise
Here's how you can cast your vote:
Voting ends on March 9, 2012. The Grand Prize winner will be announced on March 12, 2012.
What will we use the office equipment for? As we launch our I'm Aging Out website, we are in need of equipment to help us contact, create, and sustain our site. The phone systems will help us reach out to thousands of group homes around the country regarding the resources available to foster youth. The computers will help us research information online. The printers will help us send out flyers, posters, and mailers to group homes across the country when updates or changes in the law occur on a national and state level. The equipment will be used for so much more at Together We Rise and we are extremely excited to compete and help advocate for foster youth children nationwide.
