Empowering Darke County Youth
Parents to hold
fundraiser for tutoring program
A bake sale fundraising event will be held at Walmart in Greenville on
March 5 starting at 10 a.m. The purpose? To raise funds for tutoring
children needing help with basic skills like reading, writing and math.
“My kids were struggling,” said Kendra Chalmers. “They got help and now
they’re doing fine. More than that, I was taught how to help them at
home. I want other children and parents to have the same opportunity,”
she added.
“We have great teachers,” Chalmers continued. “But too many children
need that extra boost that simply can’t be provided in a classroom of
20 or more students. Weekly tutoring can make a difference.”
Chalmers, her family and friends will be offering specialty party
treats as well as home-made goodies, such as cakes, cookies, brownies
and more. Treats will be reasonably priced; all proceeds will go to the
tutoring program for supplies and to expand the number of qualified
individuals who can work with struggling children one-on-one.
“We will also be taking donations and asking parents to join us. We
need help to reach as many kids as possible,” Chalmers said. “We will
be at Walmart on March 5, starting a 10 a.m. We’ll be there until we’re
sold out.”
