What is it? A city-wide
one-day organized fundraising challenge. The Academy of Hope will be competing
against other non-profits in the region during the 24-hour period.
What is the purpose?
Academy of Hope is attempting to raise money for the General Educational
Development (GED) tests, because in early 2014, the cost will be rising from
$50 to $120 to take the test. With this high school credential, adults are able
to find better-paying jobs to support their families and they are more likely
to support their children with their education endeavors. Academy of Hope’s
goal is to reach $5,000.
What amount? $12 supplies
a calculator for one learner, $24 helps a learner purchase a GED study book,
and $48 helps advanced computer learners purchase textbooks for the IC3 (Internet and Computing Core Certification) class. And more
is always welcome!
