As many of you know, I began my journey with PVD Promise in January 2017 as an intern, helping to launch the program. Growing alongside the organization has been an incredible experience, and I am honored to be entering my fifth year as Executive Director.

Last year marked a new chapter for me when I welcomed my daughter and enrolled her in the program at just five weeks old. Embarking on a college savings journey for my own child has been such a privilege, and I am deeply grateful for what this organization has done for my family and hundreds of others across our community.

A gift to this campaign is more than a donation - it is an investment in the postsecondary dreams of our students and their families. This year, your support is especially vital as we navigate major shifts in philanthropy and increasing economic uncertainty. Every contribution helps ensure that PVD Promise can continue to empower families to plan for a brighter, more secure future.

Please join me in supporting our amazing PVD Promise family!
