In addition to writing for grants, we rely on contributions from folks like you to keep us growing!
Our communities need more programs that support families as they grow!! It cost so much less to give families the tools they need in the beginning that help nurture learning, self-esteem and good social skills than it does to pay for under-educated, troubled youth who seek their worth in drugs, gangs, violence and teen sex!
Please help continue the work of the neighborhood parenting program of By My Side by donating what you can.
Checks or money orders should be made out to By My Side, Ltd., memo....parenting program and mailed to:
Neighborhood Parenting Program of By My Side
1747 Tulip St.
Philadelphia, Pa. 19125
A great way for businesses to become involved and help us out is through
"The Spirit Community Newspapers" Fishtown Philanthropy effort... a win/win for all!
How it works: You do a fundraiser for us, you get free publicity!
Your business contacts Teri Ramsay, Executive Director of By My Side teriramsay@comcast.net to let her know you wish to become part of Fishtown Philanthropy. You decide on what kind of fund raising effort you would like (We have great ideas if you don't have one).
Your business receives a feature article in the paper highlighting what you do and holding your business up as one who cares about the children and the community. The Neighborhood Parenting Program gets support!
One easy way to support us is by getting your "I Love Fishtown" Buttons for a suggested donation of only $2.00 !
Third Federal Bank came up with this idea, are supplying the buttons and donating 100% of the proceeds to The Parenting Program.

They can be found at the following businesses in the neighborhood:
