Message from Mr. S. Douglas Bunch, Executive Director:

Dear Friends,

Ten years ago, Ascanius set out to bring the classical world to the elementary school classroom, in the hope that by teaching students about the past, we could give them a broader perspective on the present. With your help, we've done that. Since our first LatinSummer program in 2000, we have touched the lives of nearly one thousand children across the nation. We're not done yet, however. The classical world has much to teach us, and we are determined to bring it, in particular, to children who would otherwise never have the opportunity to experience it. In this, the tenth year of Ascanius: The Youth Classics Institute, we have set a goal to raise $25,000 so that we can do just that -- and in the process permanently support our programs and services. Please help us. We can't do it without you.
