Rally For Your Future Today!

admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 13:21:06 +0000

The Sunset Club is participating in the second annual Rally For Your Future event today! The event is being held at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium for the youth of the Ready for Life program, which reaches out to youth aging out of the foster care system between the ages of 15 and 22. This will be an educationally and socially-oriented afternoon, concluding with a Thanksgiving dinner that gives the youths an opportunity to celebrate the holiday together with the only family they’ve known: each other.

We are so excited to be a part of such a wonderful event!
