Assistance League of San Bernardino Recognized for Commitment to Supporting Youth

San Bernardino, CA — In Feb., the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) Board of Education presented the Outstanding Community Partner Award to the Assistance League of San Bernardino, a longtime supporter of SBCUSD students.

 

For decades, the Assistance League of San Bernardino has had a profound impact on the SBCUSD school community through its dedicated efforts to support children in need. From providing clothing to at-risk students to offering a dental program, the Assistance League has consistently demonstrated its commitment to enhancing opportunities for children in the San Bernardino and Highland communities. Many past and present Board of Education members have performed at the Assistance League’s annual fundraiser, the Headdress Ball.

 

That event is the League’s chief fundraiser, allowing the nonprofit to provide low-cost and, in some cases, free dental services to children ages 5 to 25, ensuring that every child has access to quality dental care. The Assistance League also runs Operation School Bell, which helps provide clothing for needy children from kindergarten to senior year by sending them shopping for brand-new clothing for free.

 

By addressing basic needs, the organization helps to remove barriers to learning and promotes student success, said Dorie Stratton, the Assistance League’s Vice President of Resource Development and Principal of San Andreas High School.

 

“We are deeply honored to receive this award from SBCUSD,” Stratton said. “It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, as well as the impact of our programs on the lives of those we serve.”
