OXNARD — Ventura Harley-Davidson gave El Centrito and our families a second chance to meet the $5,000 goal for our 5 Days to Raise campaign. When Ventura Harley-Davidson heard that our final fundraising total fell short of our goal, they committed to match all last minute gifts up to $2,500.
Every dollar donated to El Centrito from now until Friday will be matched by Ventura Harley-Davidson. A $50 donation to El Centrito provides $100 of support; $2,500 of donations provides $5,000 of support! Donate today and double your impact with the support of Ventura Harley-Davidson.
All of last week, El Centrito shared our families’ stories of resilience, powerful learning and success to raise funds for our innovative programs and our mission, which are archived here. On Friday, the STEAM Academy students, mentors and staff followed as donations came in and as we inched towards our $5,000 goal.
El Centrito missed its goal, but all summer we have worked with students to build their resilience so that they can bounce back, seek support, try again, and continue to reach for their greatest potential. At the end of the intensive six-week Summer STEAM Academy, many students reported that their greatest strength is that they learned to never give up. El Centrito is inspired by their example and their tenacity.
Ventura Harley-Davidson has given El Centrito a second chance to meet our goal and for passionate community members to make a donation. Donate today to show our students that trying again is an important lesson and necessary for success!
