The Bryan Community is an alternative high school program that offers new ways to engage students who have been previously challenged with traditional schooling. In addition to creative ways for learning, we are helping students to activate themselves beyond high school. Students are considering the different paths toward their future. Each year, we want to give our students the opportunity to visit colleges and trade schools to better plan for their post high school goals. We are requesting funds for the cost of transportation to and from the colleges, and the opportunity to take in the campus cafeteria while they are there. Students will visit the campuses of SCC, UNL, Doane, MCC, Bryan Health, and College of Hair Design. Your donation will benefit up to 150 students. Thank you for helping our program to make this happen.

LSW Speech & Debate has had a banner year, with both teams earning runner-up honors at our state tournaments. We also qualified a record number of students - 34 - to our two national tournaments. Getting this many students and coaches and judges to these tournaments takes a sizable amount of money. Over the course of the school year, the students, parents, coaches and supporters of the team have fundraised over $58,000, but we are still short. We need some additional funding to make it to the National Speech & Debate Tournament in a couple weeks. If you are able to donate, we would greatly appreciate the help!

Your gifts can help hundreds of students participate in athletics this year in Lincoln Public Schools.
One-quarter of LPS middle school and high school students participate in athletics. Building character, camaraderie and teamwork outside the classroom for thousands of students. With more and more students qualifying for free and reduced lunch, financial barriers to participation are becoming more common. This campaign will provide athletic shoes (and physicals in some cases) to students in need, opening the door to participating in sports while giving students the freedom to feel like every other student on the team.
Requesting $6,000 plus cost reimbursement.
Your gifts are important to give all LPS students the opportunity to succeed -- your gifts to this fund will help 75 students this year if the full amount is raised.
Thank you for your consideration.
