Cradle Beach Granted Funds for New Programming

Cradle Beach is the proud recipient of funding from the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo and the Patrick P. Lee Foundation.

The funding will support Project S.O.A.R, a year-round intensive academic improvement program targeting children at Buffalo Public School #43 – Lovejoy Discovery School. After two years of planning and researching evidenced based programs in the country, Cradle Beach will be working daily with forty 3rd and 4th grade students to provide in-class tutoring and mentoring along with day and weekend field trips to our site in Angola, NY. This will be in addition to the students attending a 10-day summer camping session at our site as well.
