Now that we've cleared a path through a record-setting snow fall, let's remember it won't be too long and the green grass will be beckoning us back to the golf course!
 
We will be hitting the links at the beautiful Wilds Golf Club, featuring their renowned 18th hole. It will be a great afternoon of fun, food, games, silent auction, and a terrific round of best ball scramble golf.

Thank You and
On-going Ways to Support the Kids!

Thank you for your support of Bridges to Learning and the impoverished children in Vietnam. 

As we all know, children who have no education are destined to remain at the bottom of the society.  It's simply a matter of birth. Anh Linh School and Viet Anh Primary School offer opportunities for impoverished children to learn and thrive. The kids have great hearts and minds and spirits that just need a hand up.

We can do that with your help!  Thank you.

There are many avenues for your support: 

  • To fund special projects, or help with general operating expenses, learn more about making a donation at: : 
  • If you'd like more information about sponsoring a child go to:
  • Have your stock or mutual funds appreciated? Is it time for mandatory distributions from retirement accounts? Many people have found that contributing shares to nonprofits makes good sense. Check with your financial advisor to see if this is a viable option for you. If so, contact us for further information. 
  • Does your company match donations? If so, please consider requesting a match for your donation to Bridges to Learning. Some companies match 2 or 3 times the amount of the donation for employees, their spouses, and even retirees!   We have received a few matching gifts already this year from companies, totaling over a thousand dollars.
  • Do you know of any grant opportunities? Does your company, or foundation, offer grants? If so, please contact us at info@bridges2learning.org. 
  • Volunteering is a great way to contribute to B2L and the schools. Right now we could especially need people with marketing skills, poster design, website technical expertise, video editing, and translation from Vietnamese to English. Please contact us at info@bridges2learning.org if you are interested.
