San Francisco Conservation Corps Greening San Francisco in More Ways Than One

SFCC -Solar Worker
SFCC Alum on top of the world after
receiving her education and job training!

Dear Friends,

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll keep my comments
relatively short.  Picture this, a young person falls between the cracks of life and is at a dead end with no prospects except a life of crime and prison!  It looks like their life will fade to black quick and in a hurry, but alas life brightens when they find out about the San Francisco Conservation Corps.  The corps has changed a dark picture to a bright future for young people for more than 25 years, giving them an education and job skills while keeping San Francisco green through recycling, landscaping, playground renovation services and other community services.

It's the end of the year! Whether you need a big tax break and have to off load some of your tax burden or if you just want to do good and feel good inside, contribute financially to the San Francisco Conservation Corps.

Read more about the corps: www.sfcc.org, visit FACEBOOK-http://www.facebook.com/SanFranciscoConservationCorps or check out this great article.

 SFCC Class of 2009
Picture yourself making a difference in the lives of young people! 

Give to the San Francisco Conservation Corps.  Click Here!  If you really want to get double for your investment, here's an idea: Buy out the house at the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre and donate the tickets to the San Francisco Conservation Corps to resell as a fundraiser. In one night SFCC could raise $7,000 or more!  Wow...you help two great organizations and you take a load off your taxes! 

I picture you smiling!


Sincerely,

Jackie Wright
Wright Enterprises
Proud to be on the Board of SFCC

P.S. if you have a minute shoot me an email @ jackiewright@wrightnow.biz and let me know you gave.  Any amount significant to you is greatly appreciated.  Thanks for making it a Happy Holiday Season for some great young folks!
