Our event Silently Speaking Success is a silent auction designed to raise funding for events and activities to support "at-risk" youth in gaining the skills needed for today's job market and to assist in decreasing the drop-out rate. Our goal is to raise funding that will benefit our mission of assisting at-risk, as they participate in real-life experiences to instruct/promote higher education and create curriculum-based or school-sponsored programs to eliminate the achievement gap in public education.
