Make your Mississippi Passage Pledge Now |
||||||||
|
Please pledge generously. We work with kids during and after school to give them a chance to get involved in building and using wooden boats -- something that most inner city youth have never dreamed of. You should see their eyes light up when they realize that it’s a real boat we’re talking about. These kids gain skills and values that serve them throughout their lives. Not only do they learn how to work with wood, they learn that a set of plans and a pile of raw materials can be transformed a thing of beauty and usefulness. They learn that it takes persistence, discipline, teamwork, and careful craftsmanship. After the boat is completed, they have a whole new understanding of what it takes to accomplish something and they have a can-do self-confidence that enables them to take on other challenges. The motto of a local Rotary Club is “Building Responsible Youth.” That’s just what we are doing. Your pledge will be used to help buy wood, tools and fasteners and pay instructors for next years projects. The more you can pledge, the more boats and youth will be on the water next year. Make sure that you come to one of our boat launchings. The smiles and grins are worth every penny. You can quickly and easily make your tax-deductible pledge online through Network for Good. Simply click on the Network for Good icon below and follow the instructions. If you designate your pledge for "Mississippi Passage" it will help us keep track of the results of this campaign. If you are sponsoring an individual participant, enter that person's name in the designation box as well.
