Since 2019, The Fate In Our Stars (FIOS) event has focused on making the dreams of Detroit youth come true. Planned and executed by the incredible youth in Give Merit's FATE Program, this event raises crucial funds for Give Merit's FATE Scholarship Fund.

FIOS returns this year on Thursday, September 19th from 6:30-9:00pm. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to support 20 FATE scholarships. The event will include entertainment, a strolling dinner, light refreshments, a silent auction/raffle items, and many additional opportunities to give to an exceptional group of students.

About Give Merit and the FATE Program:

Give Merit exists to enhance and extend educational opportunities to Detroit youth through innovative enrichment, mentorship, and athletic activities. Since 2012, Give Merit has facilitated the FATE Program - a ten-year, cohort-based program supporting students from Detroit’s Jalen Rose Leadership Academy. FATE provides innovative programming that blends project-based learning, character development, career exposure, and mentorship into a co-curricular experience emphasizing the value of education and its role in achieving long-term career and personal goals. Your support will ensure at least 20 of our students receive a $5,000 scholarship.

There are many opportunities to give! Donate, participate in our silent auction, and purchase raffle tickets for excellent prizes! We also hope to see you at the event! Purchase tickets by visiting https://tinyurl.com/fios2024.
