WHAT IS THEARC?

Ten non profit partners at THEARC have come together under one roof to help children.
Since its opening in 2005, Town Hall Education, Arts and Recreation Campus-THEARC- has become a national prototype combining social, cultural and health services. It is a $27 million 110,000 square foot center on 16.5 acres of land in Southeast Washington, DC. THEARC provides a daily safe haven for the children it serves, with a wide range of arts, educational, recreational, health programs and services. In addition there is a 365-seat theatre (the only theatre east of the Anacostia River) a regulation size gymnasium, computer lab, art gallery, state-of-the-art music and dance studios.

HOT TIME IN THE SUMMER!

Enjoying ice cream sundaes!









Showing off hairstyles!

Enjoying the slip & slide!

THEARC is very fortunate to have volunteers that love working with children. Just this week a group of our volunteers held a Summer Fun Day for them. The activities included a slip & slide, hair braiding, making balloon characters and of course no Summer Fun Day is complete without ice cream sundaes!

THEARC’S ANGEL


“Angel really is an angel—and I want to take care of her. Thanks to THEARC, she has options now that she just wouldn’t have had before,” says Ruth, Angel’s grandmother.

WHO IS ANGEL?
Angel is a 9-year-old student who a few years ago didn’t have many options when it came to her future. Unable to care for Angel, her mother sent her to live with her grandmother. Now, after just a little more than two years with THEARC’s Washington Ballet program, Grandma Ruth says “…Angel is a bubbly, joyful child who is friendly to everyone she meets.” A dedicated student of ballet, Angel loves her teachers and new friends and looks forward to a bright future.

WHY IS THEARC NEEDED?
Shockingly, the U.S. Census Bureau 2005 American Community Survey shows that our nation’s capital has the highest rate of childhood poverty of any jurisdiction in the United States. Three out of ten children in Washington, DC live at or below the poverty line—just like Angel.

WHAT IS THEARC?
Ten non profit partners at THEARC have come together under one roof to help children.
Since its opening in 2005, Town Hall Education, Arts and Recreation Campus-THEARC- has become a national prototype combining social, cultural and health services. It is a $27 million 110,000 square foot center on 16.5 acres of land in Southeast Washington, DC.

In addition there is a 365-seat theatre (the only theatre east of the Anacostia River) a regulation size gymnasium, computer lab, art gallery, state-of-the-art music and dance studios.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
By volunteering or making a donation. Angel’s grandmother is now involved with the THEARC as a volunteer, because she “loves her babies” and has seen the potential of so many children like Angel fulfilled through THEARC. It’s often difficult to decide where your donation will make the most difference. We are asking caring citizens—like yourself—to help with a donation of $100, $50, $10 or whatever you can afford, so that THEARC can continue helping children and families rise above poverty and build better lives. Just click on the donate button. Your information is safe and secure.


WHAT IS THE "ONE IN A MILLION CAMPAIGN"?

All funds raised will go toward paying the cost of operating THEARC so that the organizations based here can be relieved of this burden and focus their important work on helping children and families.

A LEAP OF FAITH



With no tickets in hand, Hector left his home at 3:00 a.m. yesterday on a leap of faith that he would somehow get tickets to attend mass with the Pope at the Washington National's Stadium. Clinging to his faith that his efforts would be rewarded, Hector stood in the security line.

A leap of faith is what it took to create THEARC.
No where else in the country has nine non profit
organizations partnered together to bring their
variety of programs and services to a community.

THEARC also has a 365 seat community theatre, the only theatre east of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC.

To build an endowment of the size needed to serve the interests and needs of the participating organizations and the community, a campaign "raising $10 from 1 million people" was started.
Donating to the One In A Million Campaign with a gift as small as $10 will help sustain a facility and the community services within to survive and thrive from generation to generation.

Oh and Hector?-he was featured on Fox Five news proudly holding two tickets to the mass in his hand!

For more information or to donate to THEARC and its nine non profit partners; please click on the link in the upper right hand corner or you may call 1-202-4-THEARC (1-202-484-3272).
