With Gratitude!

Thanks to all who helped make our November Gala an unforgettable celebration of hope, community, and promise for our students. Your generosity is a reminder of what’s possible when we lift one another higher.

Congratulations to our student scholars and honorees Bill and Annmarie Harlor, whose compassion helps us all soar.

After volunteering as mentors, Bill and Annmarie Harlor, pictured here with daughers Erin (L) and Amanda (R), saw firsthand how transformative mentoring is for a young student facing extraordinary challenges alone.

Inspired by that impact, they rallied family and friends to help create a new scholarship fund for Bridge Mentoring students.  Now in its fourth year, the Soaring Scholars scholarship has awarded $130,000 to 24 students, honoring the spirit and impact of mentorship. 

Thank you for Supporting our Fund in Need
