Dear Frienda of Kathleen C. Wright Leadership Academy.
Kathleen C. Wright Leadership Academy (KCWLA) has been awarded a playground grant by KaBOOM! KaBOOM!, is a non-profit organization that connects funders with community groups to build playgrounds. Collaborating with KaBOOM!, KCWLA will be installing a playground at our school on Nov. 16, 2012.
To move this project forward, “WE NEED HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS.” Listed below are ways in which you will be able to assist:
· Tax deductible contribution – The KCWLA playground will cost approximately $100,000 and our contribution is $10,000.

If you are writing a check, please write “KCWLA Play- ground” in the memo section.

You may also RSVP as a volunteer at www.ourdreamplayground.org/kcwrightschools .
