Since 1965 more than 4500 youth from the Cabrini Green area have been part of the tutoring program hosted by Montgomery Ward and Cabrini Connections.  This year, Leo Hall, Tangela Smith Marlow and Tramaine Montel Ford have volunteered to help lead an Alumni Fund Campaign, to raise donations from former students, parents, volunteers and friends.  The initial goal is to raise at least $2500 in 2010?

Planned Giving & Bequests

Since its founding in 1993, Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection has built a community of youth, volunteers, friends and alumni engaged in an on-going process of building networks of support for inner city youth and the non-school tutor/mentor programs where youth and adults connect with each other.   We are one of the few forms of volunteering in America that connect so many people from high poverty neighborhoods with adults, organizations and learning opportunities beyond the invisible boundaries of poverty.  A bequest allows you to realize your philanthropic goals and guarantee the vitality of this unique community for future generations.

The only way we recruit volunteers and donors for Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection, is by constantly telling our stories to more and more people.

If you're reading this, you can help us expand the network of support for Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection. Use this form to build a list of people who might be interested in CC, T/MC, just because you are involved, and you told them about our work.

Don't stop outreach because the people in your network are recent college grads, or don't  have jobs. The people they know may have much more ability to become benefactors. See this slide.

Visit your network list every two months and see how easy it is to add more people. Make a goal of telling five people a month about CC, T/MC and soon we will have many more supporters of the tutoring/mentoring we do.
