What you can do to help
Your gracious support of the Centennial High School Health Center enhances basic, primary physical and mental health care services to our community’s high-need youth. With collaboration from Poudre School District, these services are funded entirely by donations, grants and student fees. We need your help to provide continued operating expenses until our annual "Steak Fry" on April 26, 2008, which serves as our major fundraising event for the Health Center.
We know there are constant invitations to help less fortunate individuals in our community and we realize generosity can only be stretched so far. Yet, it is easy to overlook the youth in our own backyard. Sometimes the smallest amounts can truly make the greatest difference.
In keeping our community’s needy children thriving and healthy, we ensure at-risk adolescents can stay in school, working toward a productive adulthood. Furthermore, healthy teens remain on track, learn better and contribute to the community at large!
So, by supporting the Centennial Health Center you can directly increase these students' chances for academic and life success. Please consider taking a moment to complete the donor form to guarantee the future of this successful health promotion project for Fort Collins' outstanding alternative high school.
