Dear Neighbor,

ABUW experienced a very strong year for our 30th Anniversary. There was growth in every area including the amount of grant money we were able to allocate, the community connections being built & strengthened, and new programming focused on Children and Youth.
To celebrate our 30th Anniversary, we launched the Fund for Children & Youth. We are extremely proud to announce that we met our goal of $30,000 in new gifts for the Fund! The Board of Directors voted to use a portion of this fund to address growing concerns about substance abuse by our youth as expressed by parents, the police and mental health workers. ABUW will bring a new program to the community in January: former NBA basketball player, Chris Herren, will speak about his own journey in hopes of helping individuals and families struggling with substance abuse and addiction.
At ABUW, we feel fortunate to be able to invest in solutions to our community's human service needs. Thank you for your continued support.
Rachel Sagan, ABUW Executive Director and Liz Markiewicz, ABUW President |
