Last Friday evening, Carver’s Child of America Gala brought together an extraordinary community united around a simple, powerful idea: when we invest in young people, we create a world of possibilities.
The generosity of those in the room was inspiring—and it is already helping to shape what this summer will look like for Carver students. More gala news coming soon!
Now, we invite those who were not able to attend to be part of that same impact.
As we prepare to serve 1,500 students across nine summer programs, your support will ensure that every child has access to safe, enriching, and transformative experiences during the months when they need it most.
A gift at any level makes a meaningful difference:
$50,000 helps fund daily transportation to and from Carver’s Summer Transition programs at four middle schools and two high schools
$25,000 supports academic instruction, skills enrichment, and future readiness across all summer programs
$10,000 delivers hands-on STEAM and wellness experiences, including engineering, science, nutrition, and personal health activities
$5,000 sends students on weekly cultural and educational trips to destinations like the Connecticut Science Center, Beardsley Zoo, Stepping Stones Museum, and Stamford Nature Center
$2,500 provides weekly pool visits with water safety instruction and swimming lessons
$1,000 supplies materials for art, baking, and technology-based learning
$500 supports daily small-group or one-on-one academic sessions in math and reading with certified teachers
$250 funds weekly recreational activities such as sports, games, and outdoor play
$100 brings special experiences to students, including guest presenters, animal encounters, and new cultural activities
Every dollar helps create a summer filled with learning, discovery, confidence, and joy.
In the coming days, we will be sharing photos and videos from the Gala that beautifully capture this spirit and that bring to life the impact of Carver’s work.
But you don’t need to wait.
You can be part of this moment right now.
