One of the greatest tasks before us is to build a better and more reliable future for our children. Confronted by peer pressure, a downward economy and so many other challenges, our youth, particularly those that reside in the inner city, are finding it harder to succeed in life. Their educational opportunities remain a critical building block for their future stability and growth.
As friends, supporters, professionals and parents who have a vested stake in their future, we hope that you will support our efforts. The Gale Sayers Center is a 501(c) (3) non profit foundation committed to inspiring, motivating and educating our youth.
That is why we are thrilled to continue developing the Gale Sayers Center. The center provides an ambitious and intense after school learning experience, with benefits which afford the children unprecedented opportunities to further their education in a more focused learning environment.
Located in the heart of Chicago, the Gale Sayers Center offers a variety of unique programs and experiences for youth between the ages of 8 and 12. The programs include computer classrooms where students will be tutored in English and Math; mentoring and motivation sessions in which some of the most outstanding business, civic and sports leaders will share their experiences with the youth; educational displays and forums; and a program where youth will begin to learn the art of public speaking at an early age.
This year we are excited to present the 3rd Annual "Evening With The Stars" fundraising event on September 25, 2010.
