      Wanted: New College Gear Donated to Help Spark a Vision
      for College in More and More Northside Youth!
      On May 30th, we will launch the Northside Achievement Zone (NAZ), a 
collaborative community of high expectations and high achievement. With your 
help we would like to lay the groundwork to help kids get "From the Northside 
to the Campus"! As we begin to align opportunities through the NAZ to support 
achievement for youth, from birth to the age of 18, we will also help to create 
a tipping point of kids who start to see college in their own future. To this 
end, at the launch event we will be setting up a Northside Campus Gear Table 
with college and university items as giveaways.  We hope to equip hundreds of 
Northside youth with college t-shirts, sweatshirts, and other gear so that when 
they wear these items they begin to catch the vision early of themselves as 
college-bound. 

      We need your help to support this burgeoning pipeline from the Northside 
to the campus...we need donations of college gear! If your alma mater has an 
online bookstore, please consider purchasing one or more items and have them 
shipped to the PEACE Foundation for this event. If your college is local, take 
a minute to visit the bookstore and pick up a sweatshirt for a Northside youth 
of all ages - including babies!
