About the Can! Academies
Did you know... In Texas, one student drops out of school every four minutes.
Every three (3) hours a 15-year old girl gets pregnant.
Texas was 2nd highest among all states in teen birth rate for ages 15-17
Children of teen mothers do worse in school and are less likely to complete high school.
At-risk teens arrive at our door carrying diverse, yet equally heavy burdens. Some are unwed parents. Many are poverty stricken. Others have little or no family support. These kids may also need help getting to school and providing child care for their infants. Your tax-deductible contribution to Dallas Can! bridges the gap between basic educational needs and a quality education. It can help provide such necessities as bus passes, computer labs, counseling, child care or outreach services. Supporting a high school dropout costs society $400,000. Wouldn't you rather help them be self-sufficient? Give today. Donations are accepted online at www.TexansCan.org or by calling So many at-risk students come to Dallas Can! seriously lacking one vital element - hope. One way you can help restore that hope is by participating in this luncheon. |
