Dallas – The Dallas Can Academy Carrollton/Farmers Branch students are fortunate to have community supporters like the Carrollton Women’s Club (CWC). CWC has been assisting the school with monthly donations for many years. It is called their “pot of gold” and collections are taken at monthly meetings for many organizations, including Dallas Can Academy. Recently, CWC also assisted the school’s on-campus Wee Can Academy by donating fleece blankets made at their Blanketfests throughout the year. These blankets are used in the infant nursery and preschool to keep the young children warm and comforted. Every child enrolled in Carrollton Farmers Branch’s Wee Can Academy receives a blanket to take home.
The mission of CWC is to promote club fellowship and enhance the community through service, involvement and action. “The Carrollton Women’s Club is a great community partner and their blanket donations make a big difference to the children enrolled in our early childhood development center,” said Dr. Lucy Hakemack, principal of Dallas Can Academy. “These women have been strong supporters of our students for several years with other donations and an annual college scholarship program. Their generosity is greatly needed and appreciated by our kids.”
The women of CWC have made an impact at Dallas Can Academy Carrollton/Farmer Branch campus that will be felt by students and children for many years to come.
