Funds in Children & Youth

Mission of the Pegasus Education Foundation The Pegasus Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit corporation with the mission of enhancing teaching and learning in the Paulsboro Public Schools. The Foundation provides: • Resources such as Action Grants to teachers to implement innovative programs for students. • Living essentials such as food to families of students in need. • Resources to aid students in the transition from high school to college, vocational training, and careers. • Funding for 21st century programs such as a Preschool – 12 STEAM Academy (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Ongoing Pegasus Education Foundation Projects: Feed the Children Campaign At this time, nearly 51% of the youngsters attending the Paulsboro Public Schools are considered economically disadvantaged. The number of homeless students is also increasing. As a result, the district was accepted into the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. This federally funded program provides free breakfast and lunch for every student enrolled in the school district. Unfortunately, food insecurity remains a significant challenge for many students. In order to address this challenge, the Board of Education and the Pegasus Education Foundation partnered to create the Feed the Children Campaign. Feed the Children provides $50 gift cards to local grocery stores to assist some of the neediest families. To date, approximately 480 gift cards have been/will be distributed. It is noteworthy that the Carmel S. Morina Sons of Italy Lodge conducted a benefit spaghetti dinner on July 7, 2023. The Lodge donated every dollar ($2,591) raised to Foundation to use in the Feed the Children Campaign. Pegasus Scholars Students are able to earn college create while still in high school by participating in dual credit and high school option programs. Statewide, 22.3% of students earn college credit prior to high school graduation. Unfortunately, prior to the 2022-2023 school year, no Paulsboro High School students earned college credit prior to graduation. During the 2022-2023 school year, the Board of Education and Pegasus Education Foundation partnered to pay tuition costs for the 22 (11% of the PHS junior and senior students) Paulsboro High School students who participated in college credit programs. During the first semester of the current school year, 24 students earned college credit. When second semester courses are recorded, Paulsboro High School will be very close to the state average for these programs. The Foundation also wrote an application for a United Way of Gloucester County Live United Grant to help fund the Pegasus Schools Program. The grant was awarded in the amount of $1,000. The purpose of this grant was to help increase equity and diversity. At present, 56% of the Pegasus Scholars are students of color. The school administration and staff are now working to remove other barrier to participation in rigorous college courses. By illustration, many parents find the application process daunting. To address this challenge, an evening meeting took place at PHS so that college representatives and school staff could help parents with the application process. Another barrier to participating in college level courses is that students must pass the Accuplacer examination prior to enrolling. Transportation to colleges to take the exam was a barrier for many students. In order to address this challenge, the administration is working to have Accuplacer administered at Paulsboro High School. The district is also conducting after school tutoring courses to prepare student for Accuplacer. STEAM Center at Loudenslager Elementary School Another successful project jointly funded by the Pegasus Education Foundation and Paulsboro Board of Education is the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) Center at Loudenslager Elementary School. Every student in grades 3-6 continue to have two periods of STEAM instruction every week in the state-of-the-art STEAM Center. I encourage you to go on Facebook and friend “Rebecca Ann” in order to see the high-quality activities taking place in the STEAM Center. STEAM Center at Billingsport Early Childhood Center STEAM instruction is also underway at Billingsport Early Childhood Center. Every student from preschool through grade 2 now receives two periods per week of hands-on STEAM activities. Having said this, the preschool through grade six component of the districtwide STEAM Academy is now “up and running” thanks to your generosity. While STEAM instruction is taking place, work still needs to be done to make the STEAM Center at Billingsport a user-friendly facility. Once again, Garrison Architects is leading the way by providing its design expertise free of charge. The Foundation is expecting the Board of Education to submit grant applications as follows. As always, the Foundation will donate matching funds to those provided by the Board of Education. o The desktop and laptop computers are physically too large for the preschool and kindergarten students. The school will ask the Foundation to help purchase iPads so that these children can fully participate in STEAM activities. o The technology room was designed for desktop computers. These fixed place computer locations are not user friendly for students moving from activity to activity using laptops and iPads. As a result, the school will ask to partner with the Foundation to update the electric and internet wiring in the technology room and STEAM Center. o Now that both Loudenslager Elementary School and Billingsport Early Childhood Center have STEAM Centers, it is important for the teachers to coordinate the curriculum and instruction being offered. Funds will be needed to pay the teachers for professional development time after school and on weekends.

Thank you for helping the Birmingham office raise money to sponsor Children's Hospital Gowns for our local hospitals. Every $25 that is donated, 1 gown is donated.... it is that simple :) We at Brave Gowns! are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to welcome you all into our mission to provide children in Central Florida and beyond with the gift of joy, self-confidence, and happiness. Our gowns are a complete re-design from the scratchy and boring hospital gowns we have all had the fun trying to tie so our butts don't hang out! Brave Gowns not only have fun prints that cover the entire front like costumes; they are made out of an amazingly soft fabric that resembles your soft, favorite t-shirt, or nightgown! They have IV access on both sleeves, access to chest ports and heart monitors and last but definitely not least; three panels for protection, which will allow the gowns to tie on the side, so no more having to worry about a draft or the back opening. While the gowns are softer than you can even imagine, they meet all hospital standards and hold up to industrial washings competing with gowns being offered currently. Children have minimal control in their daily lives and especially when going through treatment for an illness. Becoming a superhero or a rockstar will allow them to access some sense of power during this scary time.

Dear colleagues, Children in Gaza currently live in catastrophic conditions: acute malnutrition, sickness, displacement, lack of schooling, and trauma. Other than the physical disabilities, they suffer from severe mental health issues and risk developing lifelong cognitive disabilities according to experts. With your help, you can make their long road of healing shorter. This fund is for two prominent and internationally-recognized organizations: Doctors Without Borders and Save The Children. With close collaboration with their branches in the Netherlands, this fund will be dedicated to the nutrition, health and education of Gaza’s children. ASML’s special double matching campaign (200% added by ASML) gives your donation extra impact. But this is valid only for some time so please donate asap. Our core values as ASML employees should not be restricted to the walls of our campus. We should rather wear them as a badge of honor and spread them in the world around us. So let’s Collaborate and Care for the Children of Gaza.

For my birthday this year I'd like to raise money for Terre des Hommes.

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Rick Charns passing away unexpectedly on Monday, March 11th. Rick was first and foremost a loving father and husband to his nine-year-old son Nathan and his wife Lyn. You would be hard-pressed to find a picture of Rick without his family by his side. He often shared sweet family moments with friends at work, most recently texting “Proud Papa” to a colleague when Nathan hit a homerun at his spring baseball season opener.  Everyone who knew Rick here at work over his 17-year tenure knew that he was passionate about his projects, his customers, and supporting his team. Rick was instrumental in the success of the US DUV UIR team. He helped drive the team to meet seven out of seven upgrades to meet KPIs in the second half of 2023, a significant turn-around in their success.  In the past week alone, he told colleagues how proud he was of the team for beating the install cycle time commitment on their first NXT:1470 install, an achievement that resulted in an email recognition from the customer. A sentiment shared by many, one colleague put it into words well saying, “I always admired Rick’s dedication to his projects and to his project personnel. He was relentless in meeting his customer goals and ensuring that his people were properly supported throughout projects. His dedication to his family was beautiful to witness as well. He constantly spoke of his adoration for his wife and his aspirations for his young son.” He will be greatly missed by his family and so many at ASML. Anyone who knew Rick, knew how much he loved to watch his son play baseball. Rick's family is requesting donations to the Gilbert Little League in lieu of flowers.

Empowering Hope for Children: Join Me in Supporting Meyer Foundation's Mission for Paediatric Health!

A waterscouting troop in Uithoorn. Scouting is an organization that offers many activities to young and old, including fire-making, working with rope, sailing, rowing and much more. After having a troop house near the river for over 40 years, the municipality now wants to use the grounds for apartment buildings. This means the club will need funds for a new building, as the municipality is not supporting the club. The money from this fund will go to this new troop house.

The Elim Foundation was founded on December 3, 1993 with the aim of: Building and maintaining facilities for the Elim Children's Home and all related projects that benefit the children. The idea for this arose when Cees Rijke came into contact with large groups of street children in Indonesia during his work as a tour guide. Cees has adopted several children and, among others, gave Isaac a name: Isaac Rijke Sayuna. When Isaac grew up, he wanted to help other children who, like him, no longer had a home or family to care for them. Cees' meeting with Rianne Noordzij resulted in the concrete plan for the establishment of the Elim Foundation. Isaac Rijke Sayuna is married to Nonoi. Together they have four children and Isaac and Nonoi manage the activities on site. Target group and the request for help Elim mainly focuses on children who have to miss their parents at a very young age. There are also stray children whose parents cannot care for them. The children in the Elim children's home often do not know when they were born. Most children have had traumatic experiences. Unfortunately, the children are already around ten years old when it turns out that things are going very badly for them. In this remote corner of Indonesia there are no local authorities that provide care, so the population has to rely mainly on private initiative, which is what Elim focuses on. ​ That is why care and attention for housing, education, nutrition, clothing and medical care for those children is still desperately needed. Isaac and Nonoi and the employees of the Elim Foundation want to break the negative spiral and give children the chance for a better life.

This project will enable children and youth in our community in rural Uganda to plant gardens and fruit trees. The gardens provide an opportunity for environmental education and learning about sustainable farming, while also producing nutritious foods for the needy people. Learning about sustainable farming, while also helping to raise food for poor and needy people is very empowering . This program improves child nutrition and health, increases attendance and enthusiasm for learning, and demonstrates to families how they can continue to farm and help the environment. We hope the success of the programs will inspire others in the region to implement similar projects.
