Happy Holidays
As Christmas approaches, we ask that you remember AVANCE in your holiday planning. AVANCE has a successful 40-year history of helping parents break the cycle of abuse and poverty through two-generation parenting programs, home visits and family support.
Our work has a powerful impact not only on the families that we work with directly, but also on the larger community as a whole. A study of the AVANCE Parent-Child Education Program (PCEP) revealed:*
- 93% of children are school-ready when entering school.
- 90% of PCEP children stayed in school (compared to the Texas average of 67%).
- 216% increase in mothers with higher education degrees.
- 127% increase in parental employment.
- 143% increase in home ownership among parents.
This holiday season, we are offering you the opportunity to help AVANCE. Your generous end of year gift** will bolster AVANCE's continued support of families. Please consider donating to AVANCE with an annual or monthly gift to continue our mission of Unlocking America's Potential by strengthening families.
Warmest holiday wishes from our family to yours,
Richard J. Noriega, President and CEO
AVANCE, Inc.
