Thank you for sharing our special day with us. In lieu of gifts, we would like to raise money for the Avenues for Justice charity. We believe our communities and justice systems would benefit greatly from a rehabilitation-approach. Since 1979, Avenues for Justice has been working to save youths from the prison system by offering an alternative--enrollment in a supervised program that provides court advocacy, tutoring and mentorship, and gets participants the drug, alcohol and mental health treatment and job training they need to succeed. It can cost up to $500,000 a year to put a youth in a New York State juvenile detention center for a year, and only 25%-50% remain crime-free when they get out. It costs only $5,500 a year to keep a youth in Avenues for Justice, and 90% of program graduates stay out of prison. Thus, Avenues for Justice's approach breaks the wasteful cycle of unproductive and repeated incarceration by replacing it with true rehabilitation and second chances for youths. If you are so inclined, please donate any amount you wish below. 100% of all donations will be gifted to Avenues for Justice. Thank you so much for your support of this important cause.
