Happy Philanthropy Thursday Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. Family,
There is sunshine after the storm!
Kecia, Kevin and the Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. team hope that everyone finally has their power and internet back! Let’s stay connected and look out for each other during these challenging times. In Unity there is strength!
When you get a chance today, please pick up the phone and check on a loved one. Especially the Seniors in our communities. A kind word goes a loooooong way since many of them are missing daily hugs from their loved ones.
Sharing is caring! Below is some great philanthropic news that we would like to share with everyone!

SUPPORT OUR LOCAL STUDENTS!
WI-FI HOTSPOT and BACK PACK
(Stuffed with School Supplies) FUNDRAISER!

Do you know how it feels to be without the technology or technological tools to do your homework or work? Not everyone in our communities, especially our budding, brilliant students in certain neighborhoods, have access to a laptop, computer, chrome book, wi-fi, etc. to do their homework. My parents taught me that knowledge is power! Many youth in the Peekskill Community only have access to computers, etc. while attending classes at school or going to the Field Library. The Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. team invites you to help us and others empower the students in the Peekskill Community to get access to the technological tools that they will need for the upcoming school year.
Today the Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. team is highlighting an amazing group of Peekskill community partners. We call ourselves the “Peekskill Technology Equity Community Coalition” (PTECC). I love the name! We have been diligently working together during this pandemic for a great cause….the student youths in our Peekskill community.

These hard-working, community partners are fundraising to support the purchase of wi-fi hotspots for the school district to distribute to students. We share the goal of coordinating efforts to obtain resources from our contacts and opportunities to gather funds toward the goal of 300 to 400 wi-fi hotspots and 500 Back Packs (stuffed with school supplies). These items are very much needed for our student youths in the Peekskill community!

The partners of this coalition currently include:
- Meghan Kelly of Peekskill NAACP Education Committee (She has been working diligently to lead and coordinate this effort.)
- Sunny Cover of Peekskill Coffee House
- Geoff Feder of Feder Knives
- Chapman "Chappy" Manzer Manzer of Manzer landscaping
- Marisa O'Leary of the Peekskill Parent Teaching Organization
- Meghan Sheldon-Brungard of Peekskill Education Foundation
- Tuesday McDonald of The City of Peekskill Youth Bureau
- Kecia Palmer-Cousins of the Peekskill NAACP Civic Engagement/Economic Empowerment Committees,
- The City of Peekskill Youth Bureau Board/Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc.
- Mount Olivet Baptist Church
The above partner and other volunteers have been meeting for the past couple of weeks to ignite the fire on this initiative. I thank all of them for their support as we work together on this effort. We’re a great team led by Meghan Kelly. We truly appreciate your coordinating efforts! We’ve raised some funds and want to reach our goal. Help us help our student youths!
Please click here to see how you can help. Every little bit helps! Donate or make a purchase today! We encourage everyone to also distribute the flyer on their social media. We have a huge goal and tight timeline, August 26, 2020, to gather all funds by the end of this month. Everyone can do something.
As a member of The Peekskill NAACP, City of Peekskill Youth Bureau, Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. and a proud mother two Peekskill HS teen-aged sons, I am an active community advocate for all of the youth in Peekskill. The youth are our future!
Let’s continue to invest in them so everyone’s future can be brighter. Access to technology is freedom, flexibility and opens doors to so many opportunities. Much of today’s workforce is working remotely from home and many of our students are also attending school via remote and or virtual learning. Let’s do all that we can to help keep supplement all of the great things that our Peekskill School District is doing to ensure that all of our students…from Pre-K to our HS Seniors have the technology to continue to survive and thrive at school. Remote access allowed me to work as a Verizon Senior Information Technology Project Manager from home during my last 10 years at Verizon before I retired. It helped me have work, life balance and put my Manufacturing Engineering degree from Boston University to good use.
On August 28, 2020, the City of Peekskill Youth Bureau will hold their Back to School Back Pack Event (Amazon Wishlist) at The City of Peekskill Youth Bureau (social distancing pick-up) to ensure that the local Peekskill Youth Bureau have the school supplies that they need in September.

Please donate today and help us reach our goal of giving out 500 Back Packs stuffed with school supplies to our youth! Kecia will also send personalized thank you cards to all those who make a donation to the Wi-fi hot spots and or the Back Pack effort if you let her know. Just email her at kecia@aerobasoul.com. Please give today!
As usual, tell them that Kecia sent you!
Let’s all help to create some happy, wonderful smiles on our youth as they prepare for the upcoming school year!
Sincerely,
Kecia and Kevin
