END OF THE YEAR CAMPAIGN! Over the next few week

END OF THE YEAR CAMPAIGN!

Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing stories in recognition of 15 years of investing holistically in the lives of young men and women pursuing education.

We need to raise $60,000 by the end of the year. This will allow us to continue our holistic investment in the emerging leaders of Chicago.

Would you consider a generous gift to our end-of-year campaign and impact the life and story of an emerging urban leader for eternity?

Happy #givingtuesday!

Do you give back to others? A full heart is a generous heart. When you give without expecting anything in return, the blessings in your life are multiplied. We know it’s something we *should* do, but it’s even more powerful than you might think.

Every gift to Pursue Scholars will allow us to continue our holistic investment in the emerging leaders of Chicago. You have the opportunity to make an impact TODAY!

Our Act Six coordinator, Meagan Familara, reflects on what gives her purpose working for Pursue Scholars.

Being a college student can be tough. Being a leader can also make you feel isolated and lonely. Our Scholars know they are part of a leadership community and can lean on one another and our staff for guidance and holistic support.
