Dear Friends,
This Thanksgiving week, we are grateful for so much, including...
1) The Return to In-Person, Group Programming. It is such a delight to see our elementary and middle school students weekly during our after-school program (in partnership with Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park and their Box of Rain program). We've created care packages for others, visited the new Busch Library, had a scavenger hunt, and made s'mores, and so much more.
2) Our Amazing Donors and Supporters. We could not do the critical work of investing in young people without your generous donations and grants. Most recently, you helped us raise $6,660 through our fall campaign (8 new donors committed to a total of $335 monthly and 23 additional doors gave $2,640). The Sprague family hosted our first Charting Careers Friendraising Event in the Fishing Creek Farm neighborhood. This was meaningful, successful, and fun! Please stay tuned for more of these Friendraising events.
3) Our Incredible Scholars, Families, Staff, Board, Volunteers, and Partners. There is so much behind the scenes work that goes into making our programming happen: scholars and families who have trusted us to be on this journey together, staff members who are truly dedicated to our scholars and their families, numerous board members who volunteer over 10+ hours a week, mentors who persist with mentoring despite COVID and other challenges, and our many partners who share their spaces, talents, and resources with us.
We are so grateful for this community and our Charting Careers family and wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving.
With gratitude,
Erin Snell, PhD
