Story

I've been a huge supporter of Summer Search ever since I got involved in 2011. No other organization matched local reach with real impact - Summer Search's program enables 97% of students to graduate high school, and 68% to go on an earn a college degree vs. 21% of peers.  Summer Search doesn't pick the smartest students - just the ones who want to do more.  The combination of full-time mentoring and transformative experiences really makes a difference!  Please help to do break down structural challenges to opportunity - one Summer Search student at a time!

Request for Support 

Each September, the New York City Associate Board hosts an annual Soirée to raise funds and awareness for Summer Search. The Soirée is one of Summer Search's most successful events, typically welcoming 250 guests and raising over $150,000 annually. Due to the impact of COVID-19, this year's Soirée had to be cancelled. Despite this, the Associate Board has committed to raise $50,000 by September 30th. Your contribution will help ensure Summer Search is able to continue supporting and uplifting our students through 2020 and beyond.

Virtual Soirée - Join Us!

In addition to fundraising, the Associate Board will be hosting a Virtual Soirée on Thursday, September 24th to celebrate the accomplishments and work of Summer Search's students and staff over the past year. There will be remarks from current students, alumni, and staff.

Thank you for your support!
