Horizons at New Canaan Country School Giving Day Raises Funds for Summer Program Written by Wmallozzi
Horizons at New Canaan Country School will be participating in the annual Horizons Giving Day on Wednesday, May 12 to raise funds to support the organization’s summer program, which will be operated in-person for five weeks. The COVID-19 crisis has widened the disparities in educational access and opportunities faced by under-resourced students and has made the services provided by Horizons at NCCS more critical than ever.
Executive Director, Nancy von Euler said, The extra costs associated with running a program during the lingering pandemic are daunting, but we are committed to providing our students with a much-needed summer of healing, growth, and lots of fun!”
