Dine In for UrbanFUTURE

In 2009, more students dropped out of high school than graduated from the St. Louis Public Schools! UrbanFUTURE is working to change that, and YOU can help, and it's as simple as bringing your lunch to work for one day.

On October 27th, UrbanFUTURE is hosting, Dine In for UrbanFUTURE, a virtual event in which participants bring their lunch to work/school and donate the money they would’ve spent going out to lunch to UrbanFUTURE. You can make your donation online or mail it to:

UrbanFUTURE
3145 S. Grand Blvd.
Ste. A
St. Louis, MO 63118

The suggested donation is $10, the cost for a student to enroll in UrbanFUTURE for a single day. Your lunch donation will go a long way to making sure more urban youth will have opportunities to succeed in high school and beyond.

But this event is meant to be more than a fundraiser. We want people to use the lunch period on October 27th discussing and debating the academic achievement gap that persists in urban (and rural) districts across the country. Hopefully this will become a part of a larger conversation you can have with family, friends, classmates and co-workers. It is an issue that affects every single one of our lives now and in the future, but every single one of us can do something about it.

Please help us spread the word about this event and UrbanFUTURE. Together we can help close the achievement gap and help urban youth see and believe in their possibilities!
