Innsbrook (Richmond) Rotary - Bright Beginnings

Bright Beginnings is a YMCA-sponsored program that Innsbrook Rotary has been supporting for over 10 years. The purpose of Bright Beginnings is to help low-income children experience a positive first day of school by providing them with new clothes and a backpack filled with needed school supplies. There are 3 different ways you can help by donating your time and/or money:

Make a cash donation: Any amount is appreciated! The cost to fully sponsor one child is $150 which will give them a filled backpack and two new outfits for school.
Shop with a child: Innsbrook Rotary’s shopping night is Wed, Aug. 19 from 6-9pm. You’ll be partnered with a young child for whom you’ll purchase items on a checklist including shoes and a new outfit. It’s very easy and one of the most rewarding ways to help! This is a TIME donation only and you don’t have to pay for the items. Come out and join us for this fun fellowship event with others in our club!
Fill a Backpack: This is a great way to involve your kids in Community Service! Pick up a form with a child’s name and ID number on it and let your kids choose the school supplies on the list. This is a TIME and FINANCIAL donation. Backpacks must be returned to the Shady Grove YMCA by 7/31

If you have questions, please contact Sherry Peterson (Sherry.Peterson@alz.org) or Lisa Hollier (lhollier@yahoo.com).
