“A BIG THANKS to Tatum and big sister Kiah for coming by to donate stuffed animals for NNCCF kiddos. The girls collected the animals by asking guests to bring one to their birthday parties this year. Tatum was diagnosed with neuroblastoma as a baby, and here she is almost 8 years later! Go cancer warriors and their awesome siblings!!!”

“Impacting poverty through education is a long term view, but we believe you have to start with children and youth or we won’t be successful. If children are getting good early education, especially in lower income families, research shows they are more likely to graduate from high school and more likely to have higher income as adults. If we can make an impact at the earliest ages, we can make an impact for the rest of their life.”

Left: ‘I wanted to send this photo from KIPP Bridge’s band concert tonight. I love this photo because it represents the friendship that students make through music. These students have become great friends by working hard together and seeing each other succeed and fail in music. Thanks again for giving KIPP Bridge students a chance to experience the friendship that music creates!’ Liz Berliant, Music Teacher, KIPP Bridge Charter School, Oakland CA
Right: ‘The students are so excited about the instruments and the interest just keeps on growing. Thank you again!’ Lynette McGovern, Music Teacher, Sheridan Preparatory Academy, Albany, NY”
