Recently the Tegeder Committee received a letter from Cynthia Fraction, Executive Director at Cookie Cart, one of the recipients of a Tegeder Fund grant in September. It reads in part:
Dear Friends at The Church of St. Edward of Bloomington,
We’re so grateful for your generosity. Your donation of $5,000.00 directly supports Cookie Cart youth employees as they gain the leadership experience, financial savvy, and build the essential skills to launch their next successful steps – wherever their paths lead.
At Cookie Cart, we believe youth are leaders – with innate strengths, natural growth mindsets, and a desire for challenge. Through Cookie Cart’s training and employment program, including new Advanced Leadership pathways, youth refine who they are as leaders and chart their own bright futures.
Your gift is an investment in our community’s future leaders. We invite you to see your gift in action by stopping by one of our bakeries, purchasing our cookies, and meeting youth. We look forward to staying in touch and sharing the impact of your generosity.Information on how nonprofit organizations can apply or for ways you can contribute to the fund are on The Tegeder Fund page.
