Our mission is to "enrich the lives of youths and their families encumbered by inadequate supportive resources, providing educational opportunities, economic acumen and emotional well-being, in order to enlighten their career paths and brighten their life course."

Proceeds from the event will support our Stepping Off to College and Mapping Your Future programs. The Stepping off to College program is designed to help prepare high school seniors to make a successful transition into college. This is accomplished through a series of workshops with speakers from various walks of life which includes: college students, corporate representatives, the Columbus Foundation and a host of other partners. Once the students have successfully completed all of the program requirements, they will have many of the tools and equipment to be more prepared for their college journey.
