Problem

The AFG Prevention Program works with girls and young women (ages 5-18) who are at risk of dropping out of school, abusing drugs or alcohol, engaging in gang activities or becoming involved in abusive relationships. Last year, we served 171 girls. The essence of our program is to combine fun activities with educational sessions. However, since this program is free, we struggle to find funding for the fun activities. And one activity the girls would love is a day at the ballpark.

The Gift

Your gift of $15 will allow us to purchase one Tigers baseball ticket to see a game in August. We want to take 15 girls in our high school Prevention Program. We believe that a baseball game is a great American pastime that we want our girls to enjoy as well. Plus, it is an opportunity to bond with the other girls and find support in one another as the school starts. Finally, we want this fun outing to be an exciting kickoff for the start of a new school year and the start of the Prevention program in September. Your gift will make a significant impact on our program, since we depend on the generosity of individuals for donations to support our programming. The girls would be thrilled to be able to go to a ballgame with all their friends. We need you to help make this happen.
