Five Bridge Mentoring Students began the 2022/2023 academic year
with additional financial support, thanks to SOWMA donors Bill and Annmarie Harlor.
Last spring the Harlors initiated a supplemental “Soaring Scholars” program after volunteering as mentors
to a student facing incredible hardship during high school.
Seeing firsthand how their own mentorship experience changed the life and hope of this student,
the Harlors pledged $50,000 for the next five years with the hope of encouraging more students to
pursue their dreams of a brighter future.
