TRANSCRIPT
Dear Kids’ Chance Supporters and Friends:
I am happy to report that for the second year in a row,Kids’ Chance increased the dollar amount in total scholar-ships. We provided a total of $58,000 in scholarshipgrants to 35 deserving college-bound students. Highergrants were made possible by the generous second yeargrant of the ACE INA Foundation and were awarded toapplicants demonstrating both high academicp o t e n t i a l / p e rf o rmance and significant financial need.What is more outstanding is the fact that the scholarshipsp rovided last year helped us raise another $26,555t h rough a state matching program called PAT H(Partnership for Access to Higher Education). The ACEINA Foundation has already committed to increasing thepast year’s contribution to $30,000.
We also broadened our base of support last year throughthe Corporate and Community Partner pro g r a m .Currently there are 26 Partners representing a variety oforganizations related to the workers’ compensation field.Partner commitments from organizations such as thePennsylvania Self-Insurers’ Association, as well as golfoutings benefiting Kids’ Chance hosted by the CentralPennsylvania Chapter of RIMS and Onyshko InvestigativeServices, were also vital to our success.
The Kids’ Chance Board has been working diligently toupdate our strategic plan. I am pleased to report thatduring our November 2005 Board Meeting, the plan wasadopted.
Support from a wide range of workers’ compensation relat-ed businesses and groups, as well as private individuals,have made these opportunities possible for Kids’ Chancescholarship recipients. To our donors, and on behalf of thestudents whose lives have been positively impacted, thankyou. We have posted letters from scholarship recipients onour website, and I encourage you to read some of these let-ters as they reflect, in the students’ own words, the differ-ence Kids’ Chance is making.
We are currently working with the Bureau of Workers’Compensation to hold our first ever recognition banquetin conjunction with their two day conference which is ten-tatively scheduled in Hershey in June 2006. This is a greatopportunity to have our scholarship recipients meet ourcorporate sponsors. We have also asked our HonoraryC h a i r, Governor Edward Rendell, to speak at thisBanquet.
I look forward to working with concerned organizationsand individuals across the state to fulfill the Kids’ Chancemission in 2005 and beyond. Together we can continue tomake life-changing opportunities possible.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. GelburdPresident
