Three Days to Raise $12K

"Every challenge takes you a little deeper and awakens you again and again. The challenges keep you awake."

After completing a spring challenge, two more donors have stepped up to challenge us again. So far, we have received $35K for our Scholars and their families toward this campaign.

We need $12K in three days to unlock another $50K match, which will cover our our academic, wellness, and leadership courses for 164 Scholars this summer, competitive. compensation for 24 teachers, and high-quality 3,965 meals for our students 1st-12th grade.
