I am writing this letter to request that the $2,000.00 approved by the Atlantic Beach City Commission for the
Beaches Resource Center for the 2015-2016 fiscal year be sent to the "Beaches Resource Center Foundation"
at the address indicated above. As you know, this money will be used to enhance our abil ity to serve families
and children living in Atlantic Beach.
The Beaches Resource Center (BRC), a Full Service School of Jacksonville site , plays a key role in the
Beaches community by providing educational, psychological, health and social services that help Beaches
youth overcome challenges that impede their success in school and daily life, helping to remove obstacles to
learning , allowing students to reach their potential in the classroom and elsewhere. Services are available at
no cost to all students living at the beach regardless of whether they attend public or private schools.
The BRC Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the lives of beaches school age youth
by funding services and programs designed to help them succeed in school and daily life . The Foundation is
dedicated to bringing even more children's services to the Beaches area, delivered by the Beaches Resource
Center.
Be assured the City of Atlantic Beach's contribution will be an invaluable investment in the future of the many
young lives that are improved by Foundation-funded services. The Foundation appreciates and thanks the City
