Are you ready to rock?

Are you ready to rock? Turning Points Youth Center is hosting a Rock-A-Thon on August 29^th, 2009 and we need your help. My daughter Emma and I have agreed to raise pledges for this event to ensure that the organization can remain operational during the upcoming school year. Our goal is to raise $1000.00.

For those of you not familiar with Turning Points, their mission is to assist youth parents & their children reach their fullest potential as graduates, parents and citizens by providing programs & services that enable them to successfully complete their education & develop effective parenting skills.

Most young mothers drop out of school before the birth of their baby and many of those mothers do not complete high school. The impact of dropping out will extend into the next generation. Abandoning high school today creates a greater risk of perpetuating a cycle of poverty in the future for their children.

Did you know?

• In a youth pregnancy, two generations are at risk! Most young parents drop out of school before the birth of their baby.
• Approximately every three days a young mother age 19 or younger gives birth in a Greater Moncton area hospital.
• Turning Points has helped over 292 young mothers obtain an education and become self-sufficient. This amounts to an approx. savings of $48,472,000.00 to the taxpayers of New Brunswick.
