ABOUT

The College Parents Fund was established as of last year by several members of the Penn for Life student group. That year was dedicated to a fundraising campaign which exceeded our expectations, but fell short of the amount we would like to utilize in the future.

Dear College Parents Fund,

I recently received your check for the College Parents Fund grant. We greatly appreciate this gift and this organization and wish to express our thanks.

We were utterly dismayed when we learned that the university had no method of financially assisting student parents, particularly when other schools offer daycare subsidy or vouchers. Not only is this grant of financial benefit, but it acknowledges our presence at the University of Pennsylvania.

I applaud your efforts and know you will be blessed because of them.

Thank you for caring.
