Glastonbury A Better Chance welcomes up to 8 promising young men of color selected from middle schools across the Northeast, partnering with Glastonbury Public Schools to provide access to an exceptional education and a community invested in their success.
Our 2026 Birdies for Charity campaign, A Day in the Life, gives you a window into exactly where your support lands. Morning to night, a scholar's day is full of moments made possible by donors like you — the meal on the table after a long school day, the tutoring session that makes it all click, the dinner table where the house comes together, the weekend outing that builds something harder to measure but just as important.
This year, you can sponsor a piece of that day. We've set a goal of $50,000 —help us get there.
Your Gift Goes Further
Every donation made through Birdies for Charity automatically receives a 15% bonus on top of your gift — no extra steps required.
Thanks to the generous support of
