Hi Folks! Happy New Year!
The Downsize for Diversity ART (Anti-Racist Together) program was originally started by the Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committee, MCC, a 501(c)(3) here in Lincoln. Since 2017, this program has raised $170,000 in net sales for the MCC! This success was overwhelmingly due to the passion, generosity, and commitment to the MCC, and to the METCO program, of the people in Lincoln as well as 35 other towns in Greater Boston. Starting this month, Downsize for Diversity ART is going to be fundraising (Continuing to collect your art donations!) through the Boston Bridges Initiative, a 501(c) (3), begun here in MA, to facilitate cultural exchange and promote meaningful social interaction between city and suburban families. The Boston Bridges Initiative helps support programs such as Friends of METCO groups, METCO departments, and other like organizations in Massachusetts, to include the MCC here in Lincoln!
