WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

The mission of Head Start is to provide health, education, and promote self-sufficiency for children

and families facing adversity. We currently serve more than 2,00 children and their families each

year. The Bloom Gala is our annual fundraising dinner and auction, and this year we celebrate our

tenth anniversary! At last year’s Bloom we were able to net $247,000 which went directly into our

programs and our new South Salt Lake building to support our children and families.

Please join us Friday, September 5th, 2014 at the beautiful and exclusive Salt Lake Country Club.

Come for good food, good friends, and a good time; the silent auction and putting contest begin at

5:00 pm, with dinner and the live auction at 7:30. Then we’ll party the night away with the Dueling

Pianos.

Come find out how it feels to make a difference in the life of a child and partner with us to build the

future lives of those in our community. We look forward to seeing you there!

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HEAD START?

For nearly 50 years Head Start has worked to provide early childhood education, children’s health

and nutrition services, and parent involvement programs to disadvantaged families. Beginning as

part of Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society Campaign, Head Start is one of the longest-running

programs in the country to address and combat intergenerational poverty. Salt Lake Head Start

has been nationally recognized as one of the most innovative and outstanding divisions throughout

the federal network. We are supported in part by federal funds, but could never offer the range of

educational experiences and high-quality classrooms to which we aspire without partnerships with

local community-minded individuals. Our goal is to see that children and their families do not

merely survive, but thrive and learn to take charge of their own dreams and potential.

Your donations of supplies, volunteer hours, community investment, and financial contributions

allow us to provide:

Children’s health clinics

Safe and interactive classrooms with dedicated, qualified teachers

Nutritious, kid-friendly meals daily for children who may not eat regularly otherwise

Literacy and school readiness preparation

Parent involvement and employment training opportunities

A yearly scholarship for a past Head Start student to the University of Utah

and so much more. Lives are changed and futures provided with hope and direction thanks to your

participation.
