Announcing 2010 3CP Back to School Blast-Off!

It's time once again for 3CP's annual Adopt-a-Student for Back to School event. At this year's "Back to School Blast Off!" we are hoping to provide supplies needed for a successful school year for 30 children from our housing program. Last year Adopt-a-Student sponsors, like you, donated almost $4,000 in new school supplies, backpacks, shoes and clothes for 43 children from 23 families. The children were so appreciative and proud of their new supplies and school clothes.

If you and/or your organization, small group, co-workers, neighbors, family, etc. would like to participate in this year's annual Adopt-a-Student for Back to School event, we are offering two options:

Option #1: Sponsor a student. Donate $100 per student and we will take care of the shopping for you. Monetary donations are due by August 6th.

Option #2: Adopt a student. We will provide the child's personal info (clothing sizes and school supply list) and you can do the shopping. Supplies are due in our office (3500 Noble Ave, Fort Worth, TX) by August 10th.

If you choose to adopt a student, we ask that you provide the following:

• A new backpack
• School supplies
• A pair of shoes
• First day of school outfit

On Saturday, August 15th, you and/or your organization are invited to attend 3CP's "Back to School Blast-Off!" at Cornerstone's new ministry center where students will receive their supplies.

Please contact Melissa Hatcher at (817) 632-6000 or mghatcher@canetwork.org to sign up. We have many children in our program this year. However, if you participated in our Adopt-a-Student event last year, or in our Adopt-a-Child-for-Christmas, and would like to adopt the same child, please let us know. Either way, we look forward to partnering with you to make these kids smile.
