SWEET-ER Charity

Happy New Year!!

We resolve to make 2009 even SWEETER than 2008 . . .

This month, we will be supporting Two Together.
Founded in 1971, this city-wide program provides free tutoring to over 100 children, ages 8-18, annually. Children who score below grade level in reading and math, or have other learning needs, are eligible for the program. Referrals come from schools, parents, synagogues, churches, community agencies and word-of-mouth.

Hope to see you on Friday, Jan 30th :)

A Royal Success

Sweet Charity would like to thank everyone who came out -- on a very chilly night -- to O'Neill's Irish Bar in support of Kings Collegiate! The event raised over $1,500. We had a great turnout and were happy to welcome as many new faces as familiar ones.

Thanks again to everyone for coming!

King Me

STD (Save The Date) -- Friday, November 21st!

This month, Sweet Charity will be supporting Kings Collegiate Charter School in the Brownsville / East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.



This charter school opened in August 2007 to 81 students in grade 5. Currently, Kings Collegiate serves 137 students in grades 5 and 6.



The school will continue expand one grade and 81 students per year, until it is a full middle and high school, with 450 students in grades 5 through 12.

"Our mission, plain and simple, is to ensure that all of our students are ready for college," said Principal Laura Lee.

Please come and show your support for the hard-working students and staff @ Kings Collegiate!

This month, we will be raising funds for Operation Homefront.



Operation Homefront provides emergency assistance and morale to our troops, to the families they leave behind and to wounded warriors when they return home. In 2007, this nonprofit served more than 33,000 military families with the help of 4,500 volunteers nationwide. For more information, please visit: http://www.operationhomefront.net/index.asp
