For my birthday, I'm asking friends and family to help me raise awareness and funds for Higher Achievement. Since 1975, Higher Achievement closes the opportunity gap during the pivotal middle school years. By leveraging the power of communities, Higher Achievements proven model provides a rigorous year-round learning environment, caring role models, and a culture of high expectations, resulting in college-bound scholars with the character, confidence, and skills to succeed. I'm particularly passionate about this program because I'm an alum and currently I serve on the Board of Directors. It's a full circle moment. My birthday wish and goal is to raise $2,500 for Higher Achievement. Please join me in supporting HAP!
