Having a career in education over the last 24 years has been a blessing.  Supporting students as they navigate school and grow into individuals with the skills and confidence needed to reach their goals is extremely rewarding.  Reading skills are foundational for their education and the success Aspire! has had in helping students increase their reading ability drew me to the organization.  I was honored to join the board of Aspire! last year because its purpose and mission align with my passion for supporting students from systemically marginalized populations.   While the relationships students and their families develop with Aspire!'s staff and volunteers are crucial to their success, programs and services cannot exist without funding.  Please join me by donating to this effort! 

My goal is to raise $1,000 through this page to support Aspire!'s kids.

By donating here, you'll also get:

•           A ticket to our virtual MASKerade celebration on Thursday, October 22 from 7-8pm (mark your calendar now and be on the lookout for your ticket package in early October)
•               Entry into our live raffle for a bunch of cool prizes (even if you can't make the event)
•               Donate $100 or more before Sep 12 and you'll pay a meal forward to an Aspire! family, compliments of Ted's Bulletin.  

Your donation will prove to be an investment in our students’ future, which, I can say from personal experience, is its own reward!
