Paying it forward: Rebounding together

Story

This holiday season, I would love your help in meeting my goal of raising $2,500 for an organization that I care deeply about: PEAK - Partnership to Educate and Advance Kids. 

Our goal is to help provide a four-year, full-tuition scholarship and a committed 1-on-1 adult mentor to deserving students in the high school Class of 2025. The world has changed and people are hungry to Pay It Forward, now more than ever. 

Please consider making a donation before our PEAK-a-thon ends January 3rd and inquire whether your employer has a matching program.

About the charity

Since 1998, PEAK has focused on an often overlooked Chicago’s youth: academically average students from our city’s most challenging and under-served neighborhoods. Through a rigorous interview process, we look to identify incoming freshmen who demonstrate the grit, ability and desire necessary to flourish in life if only given financial, educational and personal support through their high school years. For over 20 years now, PEAK has proven successful in changing life’s narrative for hundreds of scholars. PEAK's unique approach combines a four-year full-tuition high school scholarship with an award-winning mentoring program. PEAK mentors are paired with a scholar at the start of freshman year and commit to this 1:1 relationship for all four years. Since inception, PEAK has partnered with Holy Trinity High School, a Brothers of the Holy Cross School. All of our scholars receive a rigorous values-based education in Holy Trinity's nurturing and academically challenging environment.
