June 2021 Newsletter
High school and college seniors are graduating and preparing for their next chapter and we are so proud of all they’ve accomplished during this challenging year. This year’s grad celebrations have been both virtual with some in-person activities, which is a marked contrast to last year when only virtual was possible. Hope looms near!
This year, our annual spring fundraiser, Sip & Celebrate, was entirely virtual. We took the opportunity to focus on the accomplishments of our students with a cheerful and breezy happy hour. Our students shared their experiences on their paths to higher education, and we were able to raise $ 265,000 thanks to our generous donors and event sponsors.
We also looked for new ways to celebrate our students from afar as our school partners began to resume in-person schooling. A local morning show, Good Day L.A. agreed that our students deserved to be spotlighted for all their hard work and featured many of our students on the Standout Grad segment.
As we continue to celebrate all of our graduates, we are gearing up to launch summer programming to combat summer melt. While we look forward to the return to in-person learning in the fall, we also anticipate that the school day may look different from times past and are embracing the opportunities that the pandemic has unearthed. For instance, virtual tools are here to stay, which allows us to reach out to students who may not have been able to access us before. Whatever the fall may bring, we remain unwavering in providing support to our students to build brighter futures.

Sipped & Celebrated
Our virtual happy hour, with special guests Ed Helms and Rosie O'Donnell, celebrated our graduating students and also raised funds that will help us sustain Fulfillment Fund's programs that help students from lesser-resourced communities get to and through college. We invited some of our students to share their experiences with attendees. Watch their segments. <[link removed]>

Congratulations, Class of 2021!
Celebrating milestones is important for our students. It’s a moment for us to express how proud of them we are and that their accomplishments matter. This year, our programs team is sending some virtual well-wishes and graduation cheer to all of our students moving on to their next chapters. Join them in celebrating our grads on social media. <[link removed]>

Partner School Scholarship Impact
We asked Dr. Garcia at UCLA Community School to share how our Fulfillment Fund scholarships impact their students: “Many of our students are first-generation students who do not always anticipate hidden costs that can come with college. [This scholarship] will help our students to pay for their textbooks, public and private transportation, technology, art supplies, and so much more!”

Good Day L.A.
Throughout the month of May, Good Day L.A. has been highlighting Fulfillment Fund students graduating and on their way to college. In this difficult year, we have been looking for ways to make our grads feel extra special and celebrate their important achievements. Check out our students who were featured for some well-deserved shout-outs on local television. <[link removed]>
