Verizon, December 19, 2008:  Holly Cole presents Lynda Miller with a check for $40,000

Support for the Kids receives a generous grant from Verizon

On December 19, 2008, Holly Cole, Director of Government
& External Affairs, Verizon, presented Lynda Miller, President & Founder of Support for the Kids with a $40,000 check for the “Empowerment thru Education” program. This very important program is the cornerstone of SFTK. We provide tutoring for foster kids twice a week, for an hour at Tutorific in Camarillo and Ventura.

We have been receiving great results and our current assessment tests show each child progressing one and one half grade levels in just 30 hours of tutoring!

We are proud of our accomplishments, efforts and hard work to make sure the foster kids in Ventura County get the help they need to succeed.

Thank you, Verizon, for your generous support. Thank you to Holly Cole for all your time and effort and for believing in our great work.

Our kids are 25% of our population, but 100% of our future.
