Each of us has had a dream - whether it’s getting that ideal job or having your favorite team win, a bucket list of items to accomplish or places to visit. For the Higher Edge students; that dream is being the first in their family to graduate from college.

So I hope on this Giving Tuesday; you will consider making a gift to Higher Edge. Because your donation supports that dream and reiterates the value of Higher Edge’s mission. Our student successes are our successes. They are changing lives ... and together we can ensure that more lives are impacted for the better.
