WHAT:
Visions of Choice Press Conference
WHEN:
Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 10 AM
WHERE:
Holy Innocents A.C.E.S. 1312 E. Bristol Street, Philadelphia,
PA 19124 - Please make sure to check-in at the front office of
the school.
WHY:
Ashley and Scott are able to attend Holy Innocents A.C.E.S. in
Philadelphia, PA because of the scholarship they receive from
the Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS)
organization. BLOCS is a state-approved scholarship organization
and part of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Through the Educational
Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program, businesses donate money
to organizations like BLOCS and, in turn, take up to a 90% tax
credit. Instead of sending their tax dollars to Harrisburg, the
EITC program allows businesses to invest in education and ensure
the success of Pennsylvania's students. Ashley and Scott are also
part of REACH's 2008 Visions of Choice campaign, which was created
to put a real face to the school choice movement in the Commonwealth.
Join
us as we honor these families and celebrate their educational
choices! If you would like more information or to RSVP, please
contact the REACH office at (717) 238-1878 or mail@paschoolchoice.org.
What
is the REACH Foundation? Founded in 1991, the REACH (Road
to Educational Achievement through Choice) Foundation is dedicated
to ensuring parental choice in education in Pennsylvania. REACH
continually promotes policies that enable statewide parental choice
in education, including the well-established and highly successful
EITC Program. For more information on the REACH Foundation, visit
