Last night, over 150 members of our Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ community came together to celebrate our extraordinary Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ scholars and alumni…tomorrow’s Leaders of Change. We were joined by friends across Los Angeles, from business, entertainment, philanthropy, city government, and education. We heard directly from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ alumni who affirmed how powerful it is when we invest in their bright futures.
In the words of Jose Guzman-Wug, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gertz-Ressler Class of 2022, and USC Class of 2026, “I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the ongoing support of my family, friends, and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ community. So I want to say thank you…to everyone here tonight for believing in me, and for believing that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ scholars can change the world for the better.”
With your incredible support, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Foundation Scholar Success Board exceeded its goal and raised over $206,000 (and counting) for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gayle Miller Leaders of Change Scholarship Fund, which will provide college scholarships to top Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ graduates next spring.
Thank you—to all of our attendees and supporters—for your belief in the promise and college dreams of our Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ scholars. A special thanks to our event co-chairs, host committee, and sponsors. You made this year’s Leaders of Change celebration our most successful ever.
