WHY WE DO IT.

FOR

EQUITY.

We do it for the student who gets up at 4 a.m., gets her siblings ready, takes two buses to get to school, studies on the bus, and works to keep the family's electricity on.  She has straight A's and preps for the SAT on YouTube.  

 

We honor her. 

FOR IMPACt.

We do it for the student who supports his single mom, as they live on friends' couches and struggle to make ends meet.  His dad is in jail and he mentors elementary school students so they learn resilience and character. 

 

We honor him. 

FOR LOVE.

We do it for the student in foster care, who wants to change the broken system. She wants to start her own non-profit to build self-esteem and healthy coping mechanisms for young people who have endured trauma.

 

We honor her.
