Matt Whipple - 2015 Golf Marathon

Denver Kids exists to support Denver Public Schools (DPS) students, grades K-12, who face the personal challenges of higher risk environments, to successfully complete high school, pursue a post-secondary option and become contributing members of the community. Learn more at www.denverkidsinc.org

I am participating in the Thirteenth Annual Summer Solstice Golf Marathon on June 22, 2015. As a golfer, I am seeking sponsorship pledges to support my efforts - all donations benefit the programs of Denver Kids. The goal of the marathon is to raise $30,000 in support of Denver Kids students and programs. Join us in making this goal a reality!

Denver Kids is in the third year of implementation of our long-term 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan which will position us to be a major impact player in the dropout crisis facing our community. Today in the US, a student drops out of school every 26 seconds. Denver Kids plans to double the number of students served to 2,800 and increase our graduation rate to 90% by 2020-2021.

Remember - When making a donation to my campaign, please include my name and 'Golf Marathon' in the donation comments section.
