The Young Professionals Auxiliary Group of Holy Family Day Home is a group of individuals committed to drawing attention to the importance of providing early childhood education and family support services to low income and homeless families in an effort to stop the cycle of poverty.
To further our impact on helping the children (ages 3 months to 5 years) of low-income and homeless families at Holy Family Day Home, we are hosting a fundraising cocktail party- the 2015 Coming Home Cocktail Party:MCM Grand & Casino - to raise over $150,000. It is reported that every $1 invested in high quality, early childhood education can yield a $7 return, since children who attend preschool have increased high-graduation rates and are less likely to spend time in the criminal justice system.
As a group, we want to raise scholarship funds ($5,000 per child to attend for one year) as our contribution to this event, but we need the collective support of our colleagues, friends and family. Please help us provide the financial resources needed to help these children gain access to high quality, early childhood education. Without a public option for low income and homeless families to send their children too, Holy Family Day Home is working to stop the cycle of poverty by providing this important stage of education and development to 154 children every year.
