Because of the generosity of people like you, we have put countless children in college and reshaped the lives of so many families. We have taken deserving young men and women and set them on a path for greater success. If you have had the chance to meet any of our scholars, you already know that they are amazing. Their confidence is inspiring. This is tomorrow’s generation of leaders and role models. 
Right now, they need your help. This is our 40th anniversary as an organization and we have certainly been through a lot…for every accomplishment there is a staff member in the background grinding to find a way to make the most of the resources we have. 
The reality is that funding has been down since COVID. Grants are harder to come by, foundations do not provide as much support and individual giving is down. Every year we hit a point in our fiscal year where cash gets tight. This year seems to be tighter than most. 
In order to avoid making some tough decisions on services we provide to our Scholars, we are asking….I am asking….that you consider making a donation today. We hope that over the next month we are able to raise an additional $100,000 in order to keep our programs running smoothly. 100% of these funds will go to support our Academy Program and Residential House. 
During this unprecedented time, your support is needed now more than ever. Give a gift at any level to make an immediate impact and support Boys Hope Girls Hope of Detroit’s work with scholars today. 

Sincerely,
Mark Hebert
Board Chair
