With just one week left of our campaign, we are pleased to announce that we have received a match from one generous donor for $2,000. This means that every dollar given in our final week will essentially be doubled! We have one week left of our campaign and this is the perfect time to join this effort. Will you help us reach our goal through your gift during our final week? Thanks again to all who have contributed thus far, we are excited about our progress and expect to finish strong. We couldn't do it without you!
Last Thursday, we had the opportunity to host a conference with about 100 service providers about conquering barriers for foster care alumni at ASU. Attendees heard about the various services that ASU offers and from students themselves. As students, we were able to interact with community partners and professionals while gaining insight into some of the barriers that former foster youth face in higher education. Overall, it was a great day! We learned about ways in which to support students and we received great feedback about the event.
We have reached 37% of our goal, but at halfway through our campaign we should be at 50%.
Today, from 2 PM - 5 PM we are trying to raise $1,000. If 100 people give up two cups of designer coffee and instead send those funds to our Pitchfunder, we can catch up by 5 PM today.
