Honoring Our Legacy, Building Our Future
For five decades, A Better Chance Strath Haven has provided life-changing educational opportunities for talented students of color, fostering a legacy of success that spans generations. Now, with a new visionary board led by our program’s alumni, we are embarking on a transformative new chapter. We invite you to partner with us as we celebrate our past and boldly invest in our future.
This year, we are thrilled to offer a unique dual-sponsorship opportunity: to support our landmark 50th Anniversary Gala and to become a founding partner in our new Endowment Campaign. Your partnership will not only help us honor our history but will also create a lasting legacy for the next 50 years.
About A Better Chance Strath Haven
Our mission is to provide our students with excellent educational opportunities and equitable access to them. We achieve this by providing access to a rigorous and rewarding high school experience for talented, high-achieving young students of color. Our scholars live in our residential home and attend the highly-acclaimed Strath Haven High School, where they are supported by a dedicated network of host families, tutors, and mentors. Your support is a direct investment in the futures of these young students and the communities they will one day lead.
The Opportunity: A Dual Sponsorship
We are launching a $500,000 Endowment Campaign, a five-year initiative to build a permanent fund that will ensure the long-term stability and success of our program. This endowment will guarantee that future generations of scholars receive the same transformative opportunities that have changed lives for the past five decades.
Your sponsorship contribution will provide vital support for both our endowment and our 50th Anniversary Gala, a night of reflection, gratitude, and inspiration.
