College Success Foundation Celebrates 20th Anniversary

October 28, 2020

College Success Foundation has been changing lives through education since we first opened our doors. Earlier this month, we kicked off our 20th Anniversary with our virtual Achieving the Dream event. An evening to remember, we took the moment to announce and toast our more than 11,000 college graduates.

Our alumni are now doctors, nurses, business leaders, community advocates and successful professionals in our communities. We highlighted some of our alumni in a stunning montage by CSF Scholar and pianist Shiasia Carter and CSF Alumni and freelance art director Roberto Brambila. CSF Alumni Nick Hailey shared his own journey through college and the lessons he’s carried with him from childhood.

To cap off the night we were moved by CSF Scholar Rosie’s desire to alleviate her family’s struggles through education and how CSF Advisor Maria Urena helped her find the resources and relationships she needed to achieve her goals.

The evening was a reminder to all in attendance that there is no dream too big or too small that we can’t achieve together and through the power of education. This incredible 20-year journey of empowering students to break down barriers and pursue those dreams was made possible by the tremendous support of our communities.

Thanks to your overwhelming support, we raised over $330,000 to enable even more scholars to graduate from college.
