Welcome from the Development Director

Dear Friends,
 
As I am nearing the one year mark of my service with Create Now! I am more excited than ever to see the growth of this organization, our board of directors and new partners.  In the last year, we have served more youth than ever before, conducted more programs and look forward to more successful events in the coming months. We have reached a huge milestone, impacting in our 10 years, over 10,000 high-risk and at-risk youth.  As you know however, for every youth whose life we change, there are countless other children who are still in need.

With the arrival of fall and Thanksgiving approaching, think about giving thanks through a donation today.  Every dollar truly makes a difference.
 
I hope you will join us in celebrating our accomplishments at our next upcoming event.  From November 16-18, we have our annual production of LA Street Scenes 2: A Boy's Life, A Girl's Life directed by Diane Namm at the Edgemar Center for the Performing Arts in Santa Monica.  This moving performance evolved from two of our Write Now! programs and features stories about inspiring youth who have struggled to overcome their challenges and find hope.  Our VIP evening on Friday, November 16 also includes a silent auction with great items including trips, dinners at top restaurants, and tickets to venues throughout Southern California.
 
I look forward to seeing you there!

Robin Garfield
