We are very pleased to share exciting news with you! Thanks to our generous supporters, Stoked teens in New York and Los Angeles are thriving!
As a result, we're launching our first March Membership Drive, a way for you to get further connected and engaged in Stoked's mission of developing successful teens through action sports and mentoring.
This year Stoked will provide over one hundred inner city teens in New York & Los Angeles with the tools to succeed, the confidence to believe in themselves, and a plan to be a happy and productive adult.
Our first group of youth have finished high school. All of them earned their diploma and are attending college - in a high school district where only 40% of students graduate.
Your membership will allow us to serve even more youth in the upcoming year!
Without your ongoing support, we wouldn't be able to help these kids graduate, attend college, and have positive relationships.
Zaidy, a Stoked alum, is completing her freshman year at Ithaca College. She recently told us, "If it weren't for Stoked, I would not be here. Stoked gave me the courage to apply to college and become who I am."
Become a member of Stoked today and help us expand the mentoring & action sports opportunities in Los Angeles & New York City.
Sincerely,
Steve Larosiliere, March 2009
