Campaign Type: Fundraiser

It was the walk previous year, this year I decided to work with the youth volunteers on my favorite sport of late – pickleball.  So, when the youth chapters came up with the idea, I decided to jump on board and help as much as I can.

It is truly encouraging to see the high-school students motivated and trying to make a difference. Help me make a difference, and a continued influence in the community.

My fundraising efforts goes towards their fundraising goals, and all the funds go to the same great cause that we have been passionate about.

Thank you for your generous support!

Hi everyone! I’m competing in my first pickleball tournament and I’m looking to raise money for CRY America.

CRY means a lot to me because of the amazing work they do at the grassroots level to help underprivileged kids in India. Whenever I see the project videos and listen to the project partner accomplishments, it always quite emotional to here and makes me want to work harder towards raising every possible dollar I can for this cause.

Thank you for cheering me on — on and off the court!

Please support Rancho Bernardo’s CRY Chapter in supporting CRY’s mission of providing education, healthcare and opportunities to underprivileged children in India. Your support can help us make a meaningful difference and give children the chance to build a brighter future.

Why We Started This

Access is usually what keeps kids out of STEM. A lot of students never get the chance to imagine themselves as engineers or programmers because they never had a laptop, a mentor, or a classroom built around STEM in the first place. For many immigrant families, technology access was the door that changed everything, and we want to help open that same door for kids who have the talent but not the opportunity yet.

The Ask

The funds raised through this campaign go directly to CRY America. Almost all of CRY’s projects focus on access to quality education in the communities they serve, and expanding STEM curriculum in schools is part of that work. Your support helps CRY continue it.

Our goal is $10,000 by December 31, 2026. Can you help us get there?
Every dollar raised here goes to CRY America and supports STEM work already happening on the ground in India.

Millions of children are denied access to schooling due to factors like poverty, child marriage, and child labor, but we are determined to change that.

Education is more than textbooks and classrooms, it is the foundation where a child’s future is built. Educated children gain the power to make informed choices, raise their voice, uplift their community, and break free from the chains of poverty. By donating to “Our Right to Learn,” you’re not just contributing to a cause-you’re investing in a child’s life and future, while also impacting societal improvement.

Your generosity will directly support CRY America’s efforts to raise awareness about the importance of education and ensure that children not only attend school but thrive as well. Together, we can achieve our goal to become the reason young children get to hold pencils, take their seats in classrooms, and unlock their endless potential. Donate to “Our Right to Learn,” one child at a time, shaping brighter futures for generations to come.

I’m raising money for CRY because every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, go to school, and have opportunities they might not otherwise have. Even a small donation can make a real difference, and I’d be so grateful for your support. Thank you for helping me support this cause!
