Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Lyle and Bradley's JustGiving page! We are excited that you are here to support us! Check out our story below! 😊

It's hard to believe Lyle is in his final year at Holy Trinity. Three years ago we were paired as a PEAK Mentor-Scholar pair at the start of Lyle's freshman year. Since then, we have shared too many moments to tell them all, but we will each pick out a favorite.

Bradley: I have enjoyed getting to know Lyle throughout all of the adventures we've been on and it is very difficult to pick just one. However, one of my favorites has to be during Lyle's freshman year when we went to an apple orchard in Indiana as part of a PEAK field trip. Lyle and I were just getting to know each other, and neither of us really knew what to expect. We quickly became friends on the bus ride, and proceeded to have a great time on bouncy castles and striving for the best apples at the top of the trees. I don't know what activity in particular was our favorite on the trip, but because it was the start of a lifelong friendship it will always be special to me.

Lyle: I'm so glad that PEAK provided me with a mentor like Bradley. PEAK has given Bradley and I so many enjoyable memories. We went Apple picking, rock climbing, we went to a corn maze and many other places! Because of the events that PEAK has setup, me and Bradley have gotten really close and will have a life long mentor and mentee relationship. PEAK has given all of its scholars amazing mentors and I hope that those that see this will donate so that another child could have an amazing mentor like mine.

Thank you again for your donation!

About the charity

Since 1998, PEAK has focused on an often overlooked Chicago’s youth: academically average students from our city’s most challenging and under-served neighborhoods. Through a rigorous interview process, we look to identify incoming freshmen who demonstrate the grit, ability and desire necessary to flourish in life if only given financial, educational and personal support through their high school years. For over 20 years now, PEAK has proven successful in changing life’s narrative for hundreds of scholars. PEAK's unique approach combines a four-year full-tuition high school scholarship with an award-winning mentoring program. PEAK mentors are paired with a scholar at the start of freshman year and commit to this 1:1 relationship for all four years. Since inception, PEAK has partnered with Holy Trinity High School, a Brothers of the Holy Cross School. All of our scholars receive a rigorous values-based education in Holy Trinity's nurturing and academically challenging environment.
