On behalf of all service providers, many thanks to the public, private, and corporate sponsors of the programs offered within this publication. Without your financial support and commitment, we could not continue to provide such valuable services to Bridgeport’s children and families. We would also like to thank the many volunteers who on a daily basis support all of our efforts in working with young people by sharing their time, talents, and expertise. It truly makes a world of difference! Sincerely,
