Recipients

A heartfelt thank you to all our generous donors for making this possible and for transforming the lives of every one of our recipients.

In our inaugural year, 2024, we raised $16,000 for our graduating seniors. Building on that momentum, our second year, 2025, surpassed all expectations with a remarkable $17,000 raised!

This year, we reached an extraordinary milestone, raising $30,000 to support our students!

We extend special recognition and gratitude to our major donors:

• Chester Green (Class of 2014), who generously contributed $10,000 on behalf of the Stephen Colbert Foundation
• CI Connects for Change, for awarding a $5,000 grant
• Jeff Kunis, for his generous $3,000 donation
