I am aiming for (no, actually I have been told I Must raise) $1,500. Unfortunately, I have already hit up most family members and have thus far made it to about $175, so I'm falling short!
Please donate, whatever you can, and send this on to anyone else who might be able to help.
TEAM Mentoring is an amazing program in South Boston and this fundraiser is one of its major sources of survival!
You can send me a check or simply go online to the site below to donate!

Don Rodman, who created the Rodman Ride for Kids, was named Boston's Best Do-Gooder by Improper Bostonian
Boston's Best 2012 People + Places
DO-GOODER
"Founder of the Rodman Ride for Kids, which supports youth social services, Don Rodman's foundation raised more than $9 million last year. Rodman's charitable acts span decades and earned him the designation of knight by Pope John Paul II. There are a million tales of his good deeds, but here's just one: In 2007, he bought out the entire Colonial Theatre so that disadvantaged kids could experience a live performance. Both Suffolk and UMass have given him honorary degrees. Among other achievements, the Rodman Ride for Kids has sent 1,500 inner-city kids to Disney World. Even, Rodman's 80th birthday party, held at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center, raised money for charity. Day in and day out, the Dorchester native commits himself to helping generations for Boston children catch the breaks that vaulted him from laundry-truck mechanic to philanthropist."
