CSC Honors Leaders in Educational Innovation
This year, Community Services for Children will present the Inez and Edward Donley Award for Children’s Advocacy to Education 2010! Education 2010, composed of the LV’s leading CEOs/companies, addresses the educational needs facing children of the Lehigh Valley by serving as a stimulus for identification, development, and implementation of new and innovative ideas for educating students.
The Donley Advocacy Award is the highlight of CSC’s 15th Annual Champions for Children Celebration. This year’s event is scheduled for 6-9:30 pm, Friday, September 10, 2010, at The Eastonian (25th St exit off Rt 22). Air Products is the Presenting Sponsor. Amy Burkett of PBS-39 will emcee the event.
This year’s Celebration also marks Head Start’s 45th anniversary, which began modestly in Easton.

Families enrolled in Head Start earn an average $13,000 per year.
