Forest Park official reports $75,000 donation from Project REACH to Wynnewoods Boys & Girls Club initiative
Summary
Forest Park second vice mayor Dr. Roslyn Moore told the board the city secured Project REACH funding and gifted $75,000 to the Wynnewoods Schools to support a new Boys & Girls Club effort in the district.
The board on Aug. 25 heard from Dr. Roslyn Moore, second vice mayor of Forest Park and the city's liaison to Wynnewoods City Schools, who reported a $75,000 grant gift to the district for its new Boys & Girls Club initiative.
Moore said she authored a 2023 InterAct for Health grant proposal for $200,000 to fund Project REACH (Resiliency, Education, Engagement, Advocacy, Communication, Community and Health). She said $75,000 of that Project REACH funding was granted and gifted to Wynnewoods for the district's Boys and Girls Club program.
Moore thanked district leaders and named several local partners involved in earlier planning, including Dr. Adrian Martin, board member Deborah Bryant, Crystal Kendricks and others from Forest Park. She also credited long-term fundraising and grant activity by board member Deborah Bryant, saying she and Moore have together helped secure more than $2.5 million in federal, local and fundraised dollars for community projects over the past 25 years.
Moore closed by telling students and families that the city and community partners are "working hard to support your success," and wished the community a strong school year. The board acknowledged Moore's remarks and recessed briefly before continuing the agenda.
