Dear Friends of HPAC, Last year, over 300 Hunts Point students participated in our programs—learning Shakespeare, performing their own stories, sharpening their writing skills, and exploring diverse careers in science, biotechnology, and medicine. All of our programs work together to broaden children’s horizons, foster a love of learning, and cultivate an appreciation for the arts and sciences. To kick off our end-of-year campaign, we’re excited to share a video about Alex & Jordan: A Friendship That Grows with HPAC, which highlights how our programs create lasting bonds and inspire growth in our scholars. Through our collective efforts, we are empowering our scholars to build confidence, develop essential skills, and explore new opportunities. Please take a moment to watch their story and see the tangible impact we’re making in the lives of the children of Hunts Point. This #GivingTuesday, please consider supporting us with a tax-deductible donation to help continue this important work. Everything we do—and everything we will continue to do—is made possible by the generosity of people like you. Thank you for supporting the Hunts Point Alliance for Children and believing in the transformative power education holds for the future of our scholars. With gratitude, The HPAC Team
