Writer Night

Please Support Second Story

Dear Friend,

We’re building rocket ships in Fountain Square. We’re filling them with purple ants and crazy TVs and hot baked Cheetos and sending them to the moon—and we need your help to succeed.

Okay, so not all of the above is literally true. Actually, at Second Story, we’re teaching kids to switch on their imaginations with creative writing, and we never know exactly what’s going to come out. But we do know this: Second Story has already helped hundreds of kids in Indianapolis find joy in writing as they discover their voices, explore their world, and embrace a life of curiosity and self-expression. We think that makes them better students and better people.
And we really do need your help.

Right now, Second Story is looking to establish our own home in Fountain Square. We want to bring our writing program to more kids. No other organization is doing what we’re doing. We have big plans. Now all we need is the funding.

That’s where you come in. Right now, during our Super Purple Ant Holiday Rocket Challenge, every dollar you invest in Second Story counts as two dollars. That’s because our board has pledged to match your contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $10,000. (The donate button is up there on the right—it is orange—by the way).

What will $20,000 mean to us? Nearly two years’ worth of rent. Two months’ worth of operating expenses. Seven more programs that help another 200 kids who “hate writing” discover that they actually love it. Of course, you don’t have to stop there, either. Our Super Purple Ant Holiday Rocket Challenge will also accommodate raccoon-, elephant-, and Bigfoot-size gifts, as well. The more support we have, the bigger rocket we can build.

No, that’s not literally true, either. But your gift will help us change more kids’ attitudes about writing. And who knows where they’ll go from there?

And thanks in advance for considering a gift to Second Story. Here’s hoping your holiday season is filled with joy and hot baked Cheetos.

Sincerely,
Jim Walker
Managing Director
