InnerAct Alliance's Wish List
Dear Friends of IAA,
We wish you the very best
holiday season filled with family and food and fun! Speaking of Filled… (see
what we did there?), please kindly consider a donation to help fill the
stockings of those served by our prevention agency and earn a tax break before
2019 ends.
Here are some options that would GREATLY assist in fulfilling our mission:
Hard Candy Christmas: Our teachers enjoy
giving fun incentives such as bookmarks, stickers, candy, etc. to students
enrolled in the Bullying and Drug Prevention courses offered by our agency to
encourage and reward them for completing homework assignments with their
parents. Unfortunately, there was no money in this year’s tight budget to
purchase incentives. Your generous donation of $60/class would help so much
(.25 x 10 wks. x 24 kids for 625 classes).
Main Branches: Prevention Education
is one of our most pivotal programs. Our agency’s 12 teachers teach prevention
strategies to Fourth through Ninth Grade classes throughout Polk
County to help students learn to stand firm against risky behaviors. Your
generous donation of $777 would help fund materials for a class ($777 x 52
classes - $41,181).
Shining Moments: UthMpact (our youth
leadership program) has two great projects, Project Prom & Project HOCO, to
collect and gift formal wear to teens. Donations are made free to deserving
students in exchange for signing a Prom Promise to keep themselves and their
friends safe from risky behaviors on Prom or Homecoming night. You and/or your
organization can help by hosting a formal wear drive or making a donation that
can be used to purchase formal wear. Especially needed are larger-size dresses
and smaller-size men’s wear. Accessories, jewelry, and shoes are also needed. Suggested
donation of $50.00 would go a long way to providing a new formal wear
outfit for teens in need!
