Hello!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I am participating in the TD Bank Five Borough Bike Tour as a way to raise money for a great cause.  

As a Bilingual Elementary School Teacher, I support Casita Maria's mission to empower children and their families by creating a culture of learning through high quality social, cultural and educational opportunities. Casita Maria has been around for many many years.  They started by giving educational support for children of recently arrived Hispanic families to adapt and thrive in New York City.  Throughout the years, they expanded programs to include homeless services, drug rehabilitation, violence prevention, gang intervention, teen pregnancy prevention,and many other services.  Please visit their website for more information http://www.casitamaria.org

Your donations are appreciated and, if you cannot donate, your support is appreciated as well.  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

I can't think of a better gift to give our children than education.
