One of DC SCORES’ biggest challenges each year, among many that come with running the District’s largest after-school program, is transportation.
Busing kids on game days is no simple -- or cheap -- task. That’s the huge, unavoidable, buses-are-necessary transportation need.
And then there’s everything else.
Transporting goals to schools. Transporting goals, tents, tables and other supplies to our special events. Taking kids to Starbucks readings. Driving kids to special appearances -- whether they’re performing on live TV or visiting the White House.
Those are just a few of the needs that are currently handled by our staff. In our mostly small cars. It’s not easy, nor is it terribly efficient.
Which is why we could really, really use a Toyota Sienna. And this is where you come in.
TODAY from 10am-midnight, as part of the Toyota 100 cars for Good program, DC SCORES is competing against four other organizations to win a brand-new Sienna.
That’s right -- a NEW CAR!
The competition is simple: Whichever organization receives the most votes during the 14-hour period wins.
There’s no way we can do this without you, our loyal supporters. As is the case with everything we do here, it will have to be a complete team effort.
