Thanks to a novel public-private partnership, Kids2College, an innovative early college awareness program that pairs sixth-grade classes with local colleges or universities, will expand to serve more than 500 D.C. public school students this year. Under the partnership between D.C. Public Schools, the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area, and The Sallie Mae Fund, Kids2College DC will triple its annual reach this year. The program -- operating within the Consortium of Universities/College Info Center -- will create six new partnerships with local universities, update existing curriculum and expand the program beyond its standard sixth-grade, six-week program to include a series of "academies" for participants as they continue through 12th grade. Since 1996, Georgetown University has used the Kids2College academic enrichment program model to serve roughly 135 sixth graders each year from Ron Brown Middle School (formerly Roper Middle School) in Northeast Washington. Georgetown also provides a summer academy program for Kids2College students as they proceed through middle and high school into college. Since its inception, 94 percent of the students who participated in the Georgetown University program went on to graduate high school on time and enroll in postsecondary education. "This program has the potential to make a tremendous, positive impact on the future success of Washington-area students," said John Childers, president, Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. With the expansion of the program from a single university, Kids2College DC will add as partners American University, George Mason University, Howard University, Prince George's Community College, Southeastern University and Trinity College in the first year of the program. Each partner college will adopt one or more local sixth-grade classes for the Kids2College program, and subsequently provide additional support, such as mentoring and tutoring, as they continue through secondary school. "We are pleased that, together with our partners, we can expand the Georgetown University success story and expose these children to the fine institutions of higher education in the metropolitan area," continued Childers. To celebrate the official opening of Kids2College DC and to mark the culmination of the six-week program, local sixth-graders will have their first experience on a college campus throughout April as they visit local universities for a "Day on Campus." The program and "Day on Campus" combine hands-on activities with information on careers, college life and academic preparation for education beyond high school. The Sallie Mae Fund, a charitable organization sponsored by Sallie Mae, has committed $900,000 to fund the Kids2College DC expansion. The commitment is part of The Sallie Mae Fund's Project Access: DC initiative to help the District's at-need students pursue their dreams of a higher education. "The Sallie Mae Fund is pleased to play an active role in expanding this important program in the metropolitan area," said Susan Corsini, chair, The Sallie Mae Fund. "Early awareness of educational options after high school plays a critical role in whether or not a child goes on to pursue postsecondary education, and the Kids2College program is vital in creating this awareness among many Washington metropolitan-area students." In addition to Kids2College DC, The Sallie Mae Fund supports a statewide Kids to College® initiative in Massachusetts through the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Massachusetts and in Charlotte, N.C., in partnership with Communities In Schools. Kids2College DC is a program of the Consortium of Universities/College Info Center (CIC). The Sallie Mae Fund, a charitable organization sponsored by Sallie Mae, is the founding sponsor of the Kids to College program established in 1992 in Massachusetts. The Sallie Mae Fund, a charitable organization sponsored by Sallie Mae, achieves its mission -- to increase access to a postsecondary education for America's children -- by supporting programs and initiatives that help open doors to higher education, prepare families for their investment, and bridge the gap when no one else can.

WASHINGTON - April 19 - An estimated 500,000 Americans took part in MoveOn PAC's Bake Sale for Democracy. More than 14,000 volunteer bakers for MoveOn PAC, the online advocacy group, took their activities “offline” on Saturday, organizing over 1,100 bake sales to raise money for MoveOn PAC’s campaign to “Bake Back the White House.” With an average of nearly $700 raised per bake sale, cookie sales will yield over $750,000 to support the group’s efforts to remove George Bush from office in November. As dawn swept across America, it cast light on preparations busily underway: a Nashville man who baked 30 key lime pies after work on Friday. Al Franken selling baked goods at Moby’s café in NYC. Signs reading, “Bake Back the White House” plastered around Washington, DC’s Adams Morgan neighborhood. While the results are still being tallied, current results suggest that the MoveOn PAC will have raised over three quarters of a million dollars, registered 4,750 citizens to vote, and distributed 43,000 pieces of literature encouraging the support of John Kerry. “The sales were as easy as pie,” said Adam Ruben, Field Director of MoveOn PAC and the event’s organizer. “We’ve been overwhelmed by our members’ response to an email only a week ago. We wanted to hold an event contrasting President Bush’s high-rolling backers with our regular Americans, and obviously people liked the idea. Winning an election has never tasted so sweet!” Henri Spiegel, a MoveOn PAC volunteer in Miami Beach, FL, was proud to hold a bake sale. “It's inspiring to see so many friends and neighbors express interest in this Bake Sale for Democracy-- a creative outlet to voice frustrations with the Bush Administration. In Florida, we are going to show George Bush that every brownie—like every vote—counts,” Spiegel said. Battleground states experienced great activity over the weekend: a bake sale in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida reported raising $1,200 in its first three hours. All funds raised will go to support MoveOn PAC’s efforts, including both advertising, like the group’s recent ad highlighting Richard Clarke's statements to the 9/11 Commission, as well as grassroots mobilization to register voters and get out the vote in November. The idea for the bake sale came after MoveOn PAC learned that more than 75% of the Bush campaign’s fundraising came in contributions of $1000 or more. “Those people are CEOs, lobbyists, wealthy people who benefited from Bush's tax cuts,” Ruben said. “By contrast, our members are regular Americans—teachers, veterans, retired seniors, construction workers. They can’t afford $1000 checks, so we wanted to give them a way to raise some dough and change the direction of our country.” Volunteers were eager to chip in. “I stand behind grassroots democracy-building efforts throughout America,” said Warren Brown, owner of Washington, DC pastry store Cakelove. “I’m happy to bring attention to November 2nd through participating in MoveOn PAC’s Bake Sale for Democracy.” “Where else can someone make a one-dollar political contribution and make a difference?” asked Adam Luna of Washington, DC. “I live in Washington, DC, hear the sirens and see the warnings every day - George Bush has made life here a little more scary, but the bake sale made everyone smile.”
