We hope you are enjoying time with your family, resting and relaxing. 2013 will end in just a few days. Remember, there’s still time to donate and help Bay Area youth who are in need.<br>
<br>
If you have already donated, we want to extend our deepest gratitude. Thank you for believing in us! Please continue to stand with our amazing youth and if you haven’t already donated, <a href="http://mbaproject.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a6a848d1fe97aa06e6eed537b&id=487c50cd60&e=b6fb0cb680" target="_self" style="color: #001c3b;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">donate</a> today. As you know, our goal is to raise $15,000 by January 1, 2014. <strong>To help us get there, an anonymous donor has stepped up and offered us a $7,500 challenge grant! </strong>To date, we’ve raised $6,000. We just have $1500 to go over the next few days! Below is a review of some of what we’ve accomplished in 2013. Help us continue to deliver these transformative services into 2014.<br>
<br>
<strong>In 2013 MBA:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Expanded our services to 4 Oakland Unified Schools + 1 school in Newark, CA (all schools that serve probation youth)</li>
<li>Completed our first ever overnight (3-day, 2-night), residential meditation retreat with youth from the Richmond, CA area</li>
<li>Launched our first clinical practicum for doctoral students to learn mindfulness-based psychotherapy with this population</li>
<li>Served 450 unique youth through our mindfulness-based groups and one-on-one counseling and mentor sessions</li>
</ul>
Your support has helped MBA continue to offer vital services to low-income youth seriously impacted by violence, oppression, poverty, and trauma. Please continue to advocate for our youth – share about what you know with your friends and family, stay knowledgeable and make a contribution. Remember:<br>

<ul>
<li>$100 supports one youth receiving 3 one-on-one counseling sessions</li>
<li>$250 supports one youth attending a 3-day, 2-night residential meditation retreat</li>
<li>$500 supports one youth to participate in our 10-module programs in the a juvenile hall</li>
<li>$1,000 supports one youth to go through a yearlong MBA high school class</li>
<li>$5,000 supports a yearlong training for one MBA instructor </li>
</ul>
If you can’t afford any of the above, remember, anything helps - even a few dollars a month. We could not do the life transforming work we do at MBA without strong hearts like yours. On behalf of all of the youth we serve, thank you for your ongoing support!! <a href="http://mbaproject.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a6a848d1fe97aa06e6eed537b&id=49062f7b74&e=b6fb0cb680" target="_self" style="color: #001c3b;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">Donate</a> today!<br>
