- Only 50% of foster youth will graduate from high school;
- 30% of foster youth will be homeless within a year of graduating from high school;
- One out of every 10 foster youth will enroll in college.
You can help smooth these graduating foster youths' transition to adulthood by providing a $25 gift card with which to purchase basic essentials. We ask that the gift cards are from merchants like Target or Wal-mart for ease of access and use.
The link to more information and a donation form is provided below. All donations need to be received by June 1, 2012. Gift for a Child is the fiscal agent for the Celebration of Excellence gift card campaign.
