Live a great story. It’s not just a
banner that hangs on the wall at Trackside. It's the story that lies at the
center of Trackside's mission and fuels the devotion we have to providing our
kids a safe and supportive place: to feel like a kid, to escape from
"everyday life," to socialize and have fun.
With a commitment to
being a place “For Teens, by Teens” we care very much about offering our
teens the types of experiences that help them develop a strong and positive
sense of themselves.
Now, more than even,
in the Wilton community, our kids need this. Now, more than ever, we need your
support.
Our great story lies
in our ability to help those who come to us strengthen their own.
It would be easy to
share with you all the significant challenges that Trackside has faced this
past year: from budget cuts to the cancellation of events due to COVID,
implementing many new safety protocols, and operating with limited staff, but
we don't want to do that, that’s not the story we want to tell.
We believe the way out of a challenge is
to focus, not on the hardship, but on the greater story we are devoted and
determined to support and share. This past year, we have had the actively
supported over 500 teens from across our community, whether they have been here
to lead a club, join in a program, attend movie night, volunteer to help spread
wood chips or enjoy carefree days during summer camp.
We feel lucky to be part of such a
loving and supportive community. We see this time as an opportunity to
strengthen ourselves and how we serve you, even more.
As our community continues to come
together to persevere and recover from the unexpected heartbreak our community
is facing, our programs and services at Trackside remain an important and much
needed means of support for our youth.
In the end, we
believe that the simple missions are the most powerful.
Ours is to continue
being a place where your kids can come to have fun, be with friends and feel
good about themselves. Now more than ever, this is critical. This
is how Wilton as a community continues to shine bright.
We know that the hardships we are all
facing will not be forever. We hope that looking back on this time we can
tell the story of how your generous contribution and loving support allowed us
to tell an even greater story than before.
A gift from you today, will help us
immensely.
We are most appreciative,
~ Cindy Moser, John Priest and the
Trackside Board of Directors
