As a first-generation college student, I know the impact that an education can have on an entire family. I also understand that not every family has the means to send their children to college and if they get there, often struggle financially.

Our mother, Cipri Sanchez wanted all five of her children Mary, Ruth, Barbara, Joe and Judy to go to “Jr college.”  That’s what it was called back in those days. She knew that going away to college would help us grow and mature, while opening our mind to endless possibilities.  We all went to college or trade school and have had great careers.  Our children continue the legacy.

So please join me in celebrating Community College month in April by making a donation.  Your chance to Be A Student's Hero is just a click away. No gift is too small! All money raised will go towards our Student Emergency Fund.

THANK YOU for your generosity to help students achieve their dreams and transform their lives.
