Dear Reader,

First of all, thank you for visiting our page. This semester, our team is trying to achieve a very important goal. We are trying to promote and raise money for an organization called Jumpstart. 

Jumpstart is an organization that is dedicated in changing children's lives. Our country is facing a problem right now. Not all children in our country have the same chance of success in school. This makes you wonder what the American future would look like if every child had the same chance of success at school no matter where they lived. 

Unfortunately, in low income neighborhoods, children start kindergarten 60% behind their peers from more wealthy communities. This leaves them woefully unprepared when school starts. A zip code should not, by any means dictate a students success.

There is where Jumpstart comes in. Since 1993, the organization has partnered with universities, preschools, government officials, and local and national organizations to transform the lives of preschoolers and their families. Jumpstart enables the children to be ready to learn, thrive in school, graduate from high school and have a strong foundation for their future success. 

In order to do this, Jumpstart trains and recruits college students, to provide language, literacy and social emotional programming for preschoolers from under resourced communities. The program lasts for 20 weeks. During these 20 weeks, children develop the necessary skills to be ready for kindergarten. 

Evidence shows that Jumpstart does its job. The average jumpstart child makes kindergarten readiness gains of more than one full developmental level, which outperforms comparison groups.

Jumpstart continues to work towards the day that every child in the country enters kindergarten prepared to succeed.

This is where you come in. If you are willing to make a small donation, that would be greatly appreciated. If you are unwilling to donate, please share this campaign with your friends. Children are a very precious asset to us, and we want them to succeed academically and in life.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and visit our page. Again, if you would like to make a donation, please click on donate above and follow any instructions. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you for supporting our children and making sure that each one of them succeeds, no matter where they live.

Sincerely,

Jordan Tracy, Matt Folan, Andrew LeBlanc and Justin Larguinho
