Editor’s note: This press release was provided by the Pelham Civic Association.

We believe every Pelham child deserves a chance to follow their dreams regardless of their family background or financial state.

Our “Help a Child, Change a Life” initiative provides financially-qualified students with learning tools, skill enrichment experiences, and social support services to help them excel. This is in keeping with Civic’s commitment to providing short-term assistance to Pelham neighbors in need, and to improving quality of life in our community.

“Help a Child” has made a statistically significant difference for students at the elementary school level and was recently expanded to PMS and PMHS with similar significant results.

Above is a summary showing the impact of our 2017-18 support programs among Pelham students.

But there is so much more to do.

Please donate to the “Help a Child, Change a Life” initiative and help make a difference right here in our Pelham community.
