Friend,

School’s out and summer adventures are calling—but so is the future.

For incoming high school seniors, summer is a crucial time to look at colleges, gather application materials and begin one of the most important stages of their lives. And for others, it’s a valuable time to study, find an internship, develop key life skills and get ahead in the classroom.

That’s why UNCF is committed to supporting students year-round and provides summer programs. But we can’t do this alone—and right now, we’re $24,705 short of our $175,000 goal.

Will you please join us in supporting students and give before our July 31 deadline as we support bright, young students in attaining a world-class education, developing professional skills and building the futures of their dreams?

By donating today, you help support crucial programs like UNCF’s Summer Leadership Series (SLS), which is one of many programs and initiatives that helps students stay on track through the summer months. Throughout this four-session professional development series, students take a deeper dive into specific topics for career development and student success—including topics like emotional intelligence, conflict resolution in the workplace and a career-planning master class.

This is just one of the many initiatives and programs that, with your support, help bright students to pursue a college education and gain the skills they need. But right now, we are 86 percent of the way to our goal, and we’re counting on your help to meet this critical milestone. We’re so close to meeting our goal, and each donation will help us close the gap and support students.

Please give now to help us meet our $175,000 goal before July 31 and support talented students at every stage of their journey. Because, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in.”^®

Thank you,

UNCF
