On Friday, June 14, 2024, we will host The First Annual Upward Bound Community STEM Fun Day and Fundraising Event. Organized by the Upward Bound program, this event aims to celebrate STEM education and raise funds to support initiatives that empower students from underserved communities to excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The event will feature interactive STEM activities, workshops, entertainment, and fundraising activities for students, families, and members in our community.

I am reaching out to kindly request in-kind or gift card donations for our upcoming event. Your generous support will significantly contribute to the success of our event and make a meaningful difference in the lives of the students and families we serve. Your donations will help us continue providing essential services to our scholars, including financial literacy, academic, social, career, and emotional workshops, as well as cultural, academic, sports, and college field trips. Additionally, we offer assistance with the college application process, academic tutoring, mock interviews, resume preparation, standardized test preparation, work-study opportunities, and scholarships. Our ultimate goal is to facilitate college enrollment and degree attainment, thereby fostering financial stability among our participants.
