Scholastic
challenges inherent to many of the schools in the Central Brooklyn District we
serve often test our resolve, but also highlight the importance of the work we
do. High school graduates from our community vying for college admission need
and deserve all the support we can garner for them.
Our work is
about education, and we devote ourselves to seeking the resources necessary to
support this work. Education can be the ‘Silver Bullet,’ “positively impacting
crime, poverty, drugs, unemployment and hatred.”
Donations make all our work
possible, they pay for the scholarships that help to free our student scholars
from financial worry. And “when they are free, they can be creative, when they
are creative they can be productive, and that helps the whole of Community."
Each year we
sponsor five (5) new scholarships and maintain support (through mentoring,
tutoring, etc.) for an additional fifteen (15) scholarship recipients who are participating
within our scholarship awards program.
We are proud
of our scholarship recipients and encouraged by their postgraduate successes.
Our program has consistently boasted a graduation rate in the high ninety
percentile, a testament to the diligence of our student scholars when given the
support they need.
Thanks again to our family of
friends and supporters and please remember to come out and support our new
group of scholarship recipients at our June 29th, 2019 Reunion and
again on December 8th, 2019 at our Annual Scholarship Dinner Dance Gala.
Sincerely,
James E. Dupree
