Did you know that there is an overwhelming body of research that shows after school programming can help to close the opportunity gap in education, increase student academic performance, increase positive behavioral outcomes, and reduce school absences? 
 
On Thursday June 6, Quincy After School will celebrate our 30+ years of service to the Quincy community at our second annual Carnival Gala at Granite Links, and we need your help. 
 
Our goal is to raise $15,000 through a silent auction held at the Carnival Gala.  Proceeds from the event will be used to provide program enhancements, educationally enriching opportunities, educator professional development, and tuition scholarships for those who would otherwise be unable to access our high-quality care. 
 
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to contribute to our silent auction.  We are seeking items that will excite bidders and compel them to give generously.  Silent auction items we are seeking include: once-in-a-lifetime experiences, concert and/or event tickets, getaways, adventures, memorabilia, parties, big-ticket items, gift cards, or any other items that you think would be enticing! 
 
By contributing a tax-deductible donation to our Gala, you will receive advertising exposure to Gala guests and community members, as well as the 500 families we currently serve each afternoon. Please reach out to us now if this opportunity interests you.
