Dear Friends,

Children are the best investment we can think of; that is universal thinking - one of those things we all can agree on.

Involvement with Futures in Education Foundation is a life changing gift for the children who attend our parochial elementary schools in Brooklyn and Queens .  

The spirit of a child is overwhelming and these future leaders exemplify hope, faith, love, as well as an eagerness to learn. The students that we are speaking of, those that are the beneficiaries of your generosity and the mission of Futures come to us from families whose average income is less than $26,000 per year.  With your support, their families can afford a quality education where over 99% of our student graduate within four years and over 98% of the graduating classes go onto higher education.

It is with confidence that we know these children are prepared for high school and a successful, well-balanced life.  They will know their studies, but they will also know that they have come into this world with a duty to seek out truth and to contribute to their community and the world around them.  These often intangible attributes are heavily reinforced by the faculty and school leadership. The parochial school faculty in Brooklyn and Queens often remain in their position for over 10, 20, or 40 years; because for them, this is a mission, not a job.

As you look at our web site, please consider being part of this remarkable mission by giving the gift of education you can be an 'Angel', join our School-Business Partnership program, or support the Bishop's Scholarship Fund (with matching gift possibilities).  When you have the opportunity, visit our schools and see first hand exactly what your contributions can do – you will look back on your involvement with Futures and with the children as the best investment you ever made.

Sincerely,

Anthony DiLauro
