Why This Fund Matters
Research shows that students involved in extracurricular activities have better mental health, improved academic performance, and lower rates of risky behaviors. Yet, many DCPS middle schoolers lack access to these opportunities. Beyond the Bell addresses this by offering critical resources to support sports, clubs, and enriching educational experiences. Together, we can ensure every student thrives.
A Bold Goal for a Brighter Future
Our goal is to raise $500,000 by 2028. Every year, we aim to raise $125,000 to provide the funding necessary for impactful student programs. With your help, we can create lasting change for DCPS middle schoolers, ensuring that they have access to experiences that inspire, motivate, and set the foundation for future success.
