For the past 24 years, CAFE has helped over 1,500 children and families from underserved communities achieve scholastic success and personal fulfillment. The organization is dedicated to developing academic excellence, artistic brilliance, cultural awareness, and civic responsibility in all students who participate in its innovative After-School and Saturday Academy programs.

CAFE's offerings include urban gardening, robotics, health and wellness initiatives (which address childhood obesity and food insecurity issues rampant in at-risk families), youth entrepreneurship, music, dance, visual arts, and academic tutoring, as well as English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) classes for non-English speaking parents. These programs are supported by public and private sector contract awards, grants, sponsorships, and donations from generous benefactors.

"We can do even more with the help of new donors and sponsors," says Lorna Green, Founder and Executive Director of CAFE. The support and patronage at this year's Fundraising Gala will help CAFE continue to enhance the lives of our children.
