Since 1986, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation (CCSF) has awarded $87 million in scholarships to 7,050 scholars dedicated to leadership, service, and making a positive impact. Each year, 150 new Scholars join this incredible family—each awarded a $20,000 scholarship that opens doors and inspires lifelong purpose.

In 1996, I became one of them—and my life was forever changed. It wasn’t just financial support; it was the start of a lifelong family that continues to inspire, challenge, and lift me higher. As a Coke Scholars Coach, Co-Chair of the Alumni Board, and forever believer in the red thread that connects us all, I’m raising $1,996 this Giving Tuesday to honor the year my journey began.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward the Foundation’s total goal of $39,000, fueling programs that help Scholars dream bigger, lead stronger, and give back deeper. Because when one of us rises, we all rise.

Give today to CCSF—so Coke Scholars can continue to refresh the world for the benefit of us all. ❤️🥤
