Kari Kushing of Franklin Community Center receives a check from a benefit golf tourney.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Franklin Community Center announced a
\npartnership with Brookfield Renewable Energy
\nGroup.<\/p>\n

Tom Uncher, vice president of operations
\nat Brookfield Renewable, and Andy Davis,
\ncommunity relations, visited Franklin recently
\nto present Executive Director Kari Cushing with
\na check for $19,436–a portion of the Northeast
\nNorth America designated funds raised at the
\n11th annual charity golf tournament held at
\nthe Fairmount Ch\u00c3\u00a2teau Montebello Golf Club
\nin Montebello, Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec.<\/p>\n

Proceeds raised at the tournament are then
\nmatched by Brookfield and are given out to
\nnonprofit charities dedicated to improving the
\nhealth and wellbeing of children throughout
\ntheir regions of operation.<\/p>\n

“It is a pleasure to support an organization
\nwith the reputation of Franklin Community
\nCenter. We believe strongly in being partners
\nwith the communities in which we operate
\nand live and this was a chance to do just that.
\nFranklin Community Center provides vital
\nsupport and assistance in our backyard and
\nwe could not be prouder to contribute to their
\nefforts,” said Uncher.<\/p>\n

Davis reached out to Cushing earlier this
\nsummer letting her know a donation would be
\ncoming their way.
\n“This donation could not have come at a
\nbetter time,” said Cushing. “Between the recent
\nexpansion of the food pantry and the upcoming
\nexpansion of Project Lift, funding is critical.”<\/p>\n

Davis and Uncher are Saratogians and are
\nfamiliar with the work done at Franklin.
\nBrookfield partners locally with companies
\nsuch as D.A. Collins and ESMI and share in their
\nphilosophy of giving back to their community.
\nRepresentatives have the job of visiting nonprofit
\norganizations throughout the communities in
\nwhich they operate to distribute the funds raised
\nfrom the tournament.<\/p>\n

Franklin Community Center is expanding its
\nafter school prevention program, Project Lift,
\nto two additional elementary schools in the
\nSaratoga Springs City School District beginning in October. Lift has been operating in the district
\nsince 1984 and currently runs in Greenfield and
\nGeyser Road Elementary Schools.<\/p>\n

The expansion will include both Caroline
\nStreet and Dorothy Nolan Elementary Schools
\nand was made possible with funds from the City
\nSchool District.
\n“The expansion of Project Lift has been a
\npriority of Franklin’s for years,” said Cushing.
\n“We are thrilled the school district feels the same
\nway and are anxious to open these services up
\nto additional families.”<\/p>\n

Project Lift is a comprehensive program
\nthat places emphasis on positive youth
\ndevelopment activities, raising self-esteem and
\nthe development of refusal, decision-making,
\nproblem solving, and communication skills.<\/p>\n

In addition to the time spent at the after-school
\nprogram, children and their families also have
\naccess to all of Franklin Community Center’s
\nancillary services, as needed, including: referral
\nand advocacy, free clothing and food, summer
\ncamp scholarships, school supplies, holiday
\nassistance and more.<\/p>\n
