The city of San Jose has decided to support Bright Futures with the funding that was previously allotted to CCPY! They have awarded us enough money to launch the Bright Futures program! You taking the time to sign this petition is what made the difference. Because of you, there will now be a safe and supportive place for youth at risk in San Jose to go for help. From the bottom of our hearts - Thank you! While this money is enough to launch the program, it is not enough to reach all the youth who need help. In order to support more youth, we will need to raise more funds. So please consider making a small donation via paypal to: lrehrlich@ctc-sj.org with the memo "Bright Futures", or mailing a check to: CTC: Bright Futures 749 Story Rd San Jose, CA 95122 Please be sure to specify any donations are for "Bright Futures". On behalf of the of the students this year, thank you so much for taking the time to sign and support this community. You made the difference! Because of your effort, youth in San Jose who have struggled through every kind of abuse, neglect and poverty will have the chance for a better life. This support for youth also helps to reduce gang influence, violence and crime in San Jose. Thank you so much for your support! With Gratitude, Bonnie Sarmiento CTC Bright Futures Volunteer & Mentor
