'You
Can Count 2010'
Campaign
Anyone who’s made it out of kindergarten can count, but many of us
choose not to. We ignore the numbers that tell us that our community
is struggling. We lose sight of the fact that what we do has
tremendous value, and we forget that we have a lot to offer that can
make a world of difference in the lives of others. Sesame Flyers
International is here to remind you of these important facts, and to
invite you to contribute to our first-ever fundraising campaign,
YouCanCount2010.
You don’t have to be a millionaire to be a philanthropist. There
are all kinds of things you can do that can make a tremendous
difference in the lives of others. Here are some ways in which your
community is counting on you:
Participate in the U.S. Census.
The Census is used to generate statistics and determine community
needs. East Flatbush and Canarsie have historically had very poor
response rates to the Census, meaning that we lose out on our fair
share of over $400 billion federal dollars for things like new
schools, hospitals and services in our community. By responding to
the Census, you make it easier for Sesame Flyers to secure
government support to benefit the community.
Volunteer your time.
Young people need role models and positive examples that let them
know that through hard work they can achieve their goals. As a
socially-responsible community member, you are living proof of that
fact. So come and visit our programs as a guest speaker, tutor, or
lend your professional expertise or talent to nurture and guide a
young person.
Donate goods, services or unwanted items.
We have an ongoing need for Items like office and art supplies,
gently used clothes, books and unwanted CDs and DVDs. We use these
items in our programs and distribute them to people in need. Contact
one of our Beacon sites and inquire about the Friends and Family
Program.
Find out if your employer has a charitable giving program.
These are difficult financial times, but many companies are still
contributing to charitable causes through grants programs,
sponsorships and matching gifts programs. Inquire about your
employer’s philanthropic efforts and pass the information on to your
friends at Sesame Flyers.
Become a Member of Sesame Flyers.
Join the growing number of community members and businesses who have
made a pledge to support the work Sesame Flyers. No dollar amount is
too small to make a difference! Donor Members also receive a range
of benefits, including merchandise and discounts on events.
