George R.R. Martin Raffle
Winter is coming...
Thank you for entering the Community Education Partnerships raffle to win a signed set of Eight George R.R. Martin Titles.
All proceeds from this raffle will support the academic journey of students experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.
Nearly 1 in 20 children in California will experience homelessness during this school year. Indeed, there are thousands of children in the greater Bay Area living in shelters, transitional homes, hotels and motels, cars, tents, and other places not designed for or suitable for housing families and children. These children are two times as likely as their housed peers to score poorly on standardized tests in math and reading, three times more likely to be placed in special education programs, four times more likely to drop out of school, and eight times more likely to repeat grades. Not surprisingly, in California, the high school graduation rate for students facing homelessness lags far behind that of their housed peers, which has terrible consequences for both the diploma-less students and the economy.
All proceeds from this raffle will support CEP to provide the following to our students;
- Free tutoring and mentoring
- Backpacks, school supplies, and books
- Laptops and hotspots
- A safe place to learn and play at our Children's Learning Center in Oakland
- Access to CEP-hosted extracurricular programs like Family Reading Nights and Homework Clubs
