DONATIONS TO BORN LEARNING ACADEMIES, A WOMEN UNITED PROGRAM TO BE DOUBLED
THROUGH JUNE 30
test
A local philanthropist has issued a $100,000 challenge to our community, to help
ensure more Quad Cities kids enter kindergarten with the skills they need to
succeed.
Heidi Huiskamp Collins announced her pledge of $100,000 as a match to any
donation supporting Born Learning Academies for kindergarten readiness through
June 30.
The academies are six-week workshops offered free to parents of children age 5
and younger, to help their kids become kindergarten ready. Managed by Women
United, a group of United Way Quad Cities donors committed to early education,
these workshops have served nearly 1,200 families and 2,000 children in the Quad
Cities since they began in 2011.
“Born Learning is changing lives every day in our community,” said Huiskamp
Collins, a Women United member and founder and CEO of Huiskamp Collins
Investments, LLC.
“Please consider joining me in providing hope and opportunity to some of our
most vulnerable Quad Citizens. Our children need your support. Won’t you please
help further the great work of Women United?”
United Way Quad Cities President and CEO Rene Gellerman applauded Huiskamp
Collins for the gift, which will effectively double any donation to the Born
Learning program through the end of June.
“Thanks to a very generous, thoughtful, passionate and amazing Quad Cities
woman, we’re one big step closer to ensuring all of our youngest Quad Citizens
are kindergarten ready. We know children who are prepared for kindergarten are
more successful throughout their academic careers,” Gellerman said.
“Heidi has been a member of Women United since the beginning. She has been a
strong supporter and advocate for the Born Learning program that empowers
parents to become their child’s first and best teacher. Today, she has not only
raised the bar with her generosity and community spirit, she’s also helping to
make the Quad Cities become the best place for kids to grow up.”
HELPING PARENTS FOSTER EARLY LEARNING
Born Learning Academies are held throughout the year at various schools, child
care centers and learning centers in Scott and Rock Island counties. They
consist of six, one-hour workshops, facilitated by trained professionals or
volunteers who promote safe and healthy home environments and give parents
advice and support to help prepare their kids for kindergarten.
During the academies, parents discover tips and resources in areas such as early
learning and relationships, language skills, nutrition and health, and starting
routines. Many academies include a free meal with each workshop, and families
that attend at least five workshops receive a complimentary tablet with
educational resources for their child.
“The outcomes of Born Learning Academies are significant. Not only do parents
make new friends, feel more confident and informed, their children have proven
to exceed the kindergarten readiness skills of their peers,” said Ashley Hicks,
United Way’s Women United Director.
“In fact, the child of a family who goes through one of our Born Learning
Academies is about 10 percent more likely to be successful in kindergarten. And,
we know when a kid enters kindergarten with the skills to succeed, they are
twice as likely to be reading proficiently and on track to graduate from high
school ready for college or career.”
HELP MORE PARENTS BECOME THEIR CHILD'S FIRST, BEST TEACHER
Your $20 donation can help a family with transportation to Born Learning classes
Your $56 donation can give a tablet filled with books to a family at the end of
a Born Learning Academy
Your $95 donation can provide a meal for a family for all six academy sessions
Your $250 donation allows a low-income family to participate in a six-week Born
Learning Academy
