The Challenge Foundation empowers smart, ambitious, and hard-working students to break familial cycles of poverty, manifest their dreams of higher education and their potential for giving back to the world.

Before being asked to become engaged in an advisory capacity, I had known nothing about our local Challenge Program, which, from middle school and continuing through college, awards tuition scholarships and individualized support services to first-generation scholars and their families.

By recognizing and nurturing the unique gifts and talents of each scholar, the Challenge Program offers holistic support to help students overcome barriers to reach educational triumphs.

Join me in supporting these remarkable young women and the transformative power of education. Your contribution directly creates opportunities for our young women scholars, fuels their successes and ensures they have the resources they need to thrive and greatly impact our community and our world.

I am deeply grateful for your gift to the Challenge Program on Giving Day!
