WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU!
With the holidays right around the corner, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of our Good Knight Child Empowerment Network supporters for all that you do. From helping with our cleanup days, to volunteering at camp, and for making monetary and material donations to support our non-profit, we couldn’t do it without you!
It has been a challenging two years for so many in our community due to the pandemic, and we are truly grateful to have been able to continue our programming for children! After completing 5 weeks of our popular summer camp our youth told us that they wanted to be more physically active while at the Good Knight Castle.
This is where you come in! On November 30th, we’ll be asking for donations as part of the #GivingTuesday global campaign to support charities. We wanted to give you a sneak peek to get you excited to help us spread the word! We are calling this year’s project/request:
let's get active!
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to cover the costs of constructing a new KABOOM playground at the castle,
as well as enhancing our KNIGHTS ON THE RUN exercise circuit!
Here's how you can help:
- make a suggested donation of $25
(click on the DONATE button, or send your check to: GKCEN, 11001 Rhode Island Avenue, Beltsville, MD, 20705) - share our #GivingTuesday email requests to 12 of your closest friends and family, asking for their support of $25 or more! (or whatever they can afford)
- like and share our posts on social media (Facebook & Instagram) on your feed,
- and ask your followers to contribute
- AND by participating in a community planning session (more details coming soon).
In addition to building a new playground, we will be adding to our fitness circuit, KNIGHTS ON THE RUN. With your generous donation (of time or money) we'll be completing the paving, adding exercise stations, and more!
Thank you for helping us to expand our ability to enhance the experience of all of our guests at the Castle by improving the property for play and fitness. Please reach out to let us know if you'd like to help in person!
