7. When You Support City Year, You
Support The Children Of New
Orleans
If we help City Year win a portion of the
Super Service Challenge, funds will go to
directly support the City Year corps and
provide the resources to ensure more
students get back on track in school.

8. At CSX, we support City Year every year by sponsoring the team at
Langston Hughes Academy. In 2014, we will participate in City Year’s
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on January 20 at Arthur Ashe
Charter School, which will focus on an acre-size garden build.
