A De’STEM’BER to Remember honors contributions from STEM practitioners of color through the Triad region, celebrates the importance of STEM education as a tool for economic empowerment in marginalized communities, and supports the future engineers, app developers, game designers and STEM professionals of tomorrow. A De’STEM’ber to Remember is an annual fundraiser gala which benefits the Be Great Foundation: a triad bases 501c3 organization who’s mission is to economically empower people from marginalized communities through STEM and IT Education, Training and Programming. Be Great Foundation offers workshops in app design, game creation, 3D development. Be Great Foundation also works with teens and young adults to provide trainings and licensing to become a professional drone pilot. Be Great Foundation also offers young adults the opportunity to earn in-demand, high compensation IT Certifications to support their scholars towards earning a thriving wage and starting their journey towards generational wealth. STEM professionals are said to earn $1M in lifetime earnings value than peers in other professional pathways. Be Great Foundation aims to place a million dollar check in the hands of every child that matriculates through their workshops and programs, by introducing them to STEM in an innovative, creative, career oriented and culturally relevant methodology. Be Great Foundation seeks to raise $10,000 through its first annual gala luncheon hosted at the beautifully appointed Elm &amp; Bain event space. All tickets purchases are tax deductible as we are a 501c3 nonprofit organization. You can expect a delicious, quality luncheon experience. You can expect to hear from Be Great Foundation on the importance of STEM Education in underrepresented populations, including some of their past and current scholars and participants. You can expect to see local “giants in STEM” honored through our first ever STEMMIE Awards for Trailblazer, Innovator, Educator, and Future Difference Maker. Finally, you can expect to learn the latest hottest line dance after viewing a ‘Dancing with the Stars’ style line dance competition.
