Friends of Fatherless Offer Free Summer Camp for Detroit Boys

DETROIT - July 19, 2017 - PRLog -- When 14-year old Marcus began coming to Gifting Dreamers, he had just lost his father, was skipping classes, felt hopeless and considered drop out of school altogether. Things were not looking up for the young man and then his mother heard about a program called Gifting Dreamers.

Gifting Dreamers is a youth leadership program dedicated to helping children, ages 12-18, which have lost a parent due to illness, violence or incarceration, receive the academic and emotional support needed to achieve their dreams.

Over the past 3 years, Gifting Dreamers has:

·         Provided life skills classes for adolescent girls and boys focusing on personal and financial responsibility, creativity enhancement, nutritional importance, team building and physical fitness.

·         Enrolled male participants in an interactive mentorship program that partners them with positive male role models that are leaders in various areas of business, entertainment and military within the community.

·         Provided academic and personal support to many students within the Detroit Public School system which assisted them in going on to become first generation high school graduates and in some cases, first generation college students.

This summer, Gifting Dreamers is hosting a camp for boys, ages 12-18, at the Miracle Camp in Lawton, Michigan, August 28-August 31, 2017 and you can help! For just $263, you can sponsor a child and provide them with a once in a lifetime experience. Please join us in this great opportunity to serve the underserved and support a worthy cause. Your involvement will contribute to making this year's event unlike any other program available for at-risk male youth in the Metro Detroit area.

You may be wondering what became of Marcus, well, he is doing great! Thanks to generous donation he now has a B average in school and no longer considers quitting as an option. Through the Gifting Dreamers program, he has also been able to connect with members of the fashion industry, which has brought him closer to his dream of being a fashion designer.

Any gift amount will help provide a child with a chance at reaching their dreams through education, preparation and determination.  To make a donation call (248) 722-1110 or http://www.giftingdreamers.com
