SPONSOR A STUDENT!!!

I’m reaching out to you because I know you share my deep concern for our young people.

On Saturday, October 10, 2009, The Urban Network will host our annual No Limits Career Day at the New York City College of Technogy in Brooklyn, New York. No Limits give students between the ages of 14–18 a chance to explore career opportunities by providing a forum to hear first-hand, real world advice from successful Black professionals. What makes this event so unique is that Urban Network professionals are able to connect with these students because we come from the same neighborhoods and have faced the same challenges many of them now must overcome.

At No Limits, students from local high schools throughout the region spend the day attending sessions in a conference-style setting on a variety of topics such as: Preparing for College, Goal Setting and Career Planning, and Life Skills and Success Strategies. In addition to this invaluable information, attendees enjoy breakfast, lunch, handouts, games, keynote speakers and free gifts.

There is no cost to students or parents to attend , and the conference is organized by an all-volunteer team. However, we can’t do it alone.

As a No Limits volunteer, I’m asking for your support. For a little as $25 per child, you can Sponsor-A-Student to attend this life-changing event. Your generous donation will help underwrite the cost of our reaching one more deserving student and your name will appear on our “Honor Roll” of Sponsor-a-Student contributors on our website and in the conference program.

You can make a donation anything until October 12, 2009.

We hope we can count on you. Thanks in advance for your support.
