Project Glimmer Received a Record 30,000 Graduation Gift Requests

HELP EMPOWER HER NEXT CHAPTER!

Good news! This year we received almost 30,000 gift requests to commemorate graduation, our largest amount ever!

To the Graduating Class of 2020: We are so very proud of you. Despite all the hardships this year has come with, you defeated every obstacle to get to this point. That’s pretty amazing in our book. We will continue to do everything in our power to support you on your journey. It’s time to celebrate your accomplishments and undying determination.

A graduation message from the Project Glimmer family: Sonja Hoel Perkins, Founder, Project Glimmer; Shellye Archambeau, Fortune 500 Board Member, Author; Meaghan Rose, Founder and CEO, Rocksbox; Stefani Vara, Recording Artist, Motivational Speaker; Cheryl Foland, Founder, lilah b.; Lena Robinson, Director, Community Development, First Republic Bank; PJ Pamulo, Vice President, Production Support, First Republic Bank; Christina Mendez, Model, Body Positivity and Autism Awareness Activist.

To Our Community of Supporters: Did you know that 50% of foster youth graduate from high school and only 3% will go on to graduate from college? And many do so with home insecurity as 1 in 5 foster youth become homeless within a year of aging out of the system. Did you know 86% of the young women Project Glimmer serves are of color which is why we remain committed to helping end gender and racial inequality.

How Can You Help? Join Project Glimmer to continue supporting our graduates through the Empower Hour - this live, virtual event empowers girls to achieve success in school, work and life and opens up new career pathways.
