These past few post-camp weeks have been busy! On August 15, 2012 we launched our Endless (Donna) Summer Indie Go Go Campaign to raise $5,000 dollars in order to fund our new after-school programming & this past week we reached that goal! We are so thankful for all of your support. Thank you for donating & spreading the word — we rock because of you!

Because we reached our goal we will be able to fund the return of Barracuda Club, our weekly drop-in program started this summer, starting Wednesday, September 12th from 3:30-6:30 PM!! We hope to see you all there! Please e-mail barracuda@girlsrockphilly.org or call 215.789.4879 with any questions you may have about the program! (If you’re interested in volunteering for Barracuda Club e-mail laura@girlsrockphilly.org.)

We will be announcing more details about other after-school programming as soon as September 15, 2012!

Though we reached our goal, every extra dollar helps us keep more of the money because of Indie Go Go’s fees. We still have a week left in our Endless (Donna) Summer Indie Go Go campaign! Please continue to donate and share the campaign with your friends, family & co-workers! http://www.indiegogo.com/grpendlesssummer?a=1018529!

Again, we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for making our Endless (Donna) Summer a reality!
