Attended by over 300 guests, Raise a Class 2016, promises to be exceptional evening featuring food from acclaimed local chefs, signature cocktails, artisanal beers, and fine wine, benefiting the Access Opportunity program. Access Opportunity invests in high-potential, low-income students, from high school through college, so that they have impactful careers and lead change in the lives of individuals and communities
Access Opportunity was started in 2014 to create opportunities for high potential, low-income students, so that they can launch impactful careers and lead change in the lives of individuals and communities. By providing personalized services, support, grants, and career opportunities, the program ensures that talented and motivated students have the tools to succeed.
“Our students and their families, like many others with limited resources but unlimited potential, have worked so hard because they believe that education is the key to social mobility,” said Yuri Shane, Executive Director and Co-Founder. “We know that even for our high-potential students, there are significant roadblocks that start before college and continue through the four years of university.”
Raise a Class 2016 will also feature live and silent auctions. Packages include dinner with The Bachelor‘s Ben Higgins & JJ Lane, a James Bond weekend in Aspen, a Bar Dough pasta making and Italian wine class and a trip to Napa to stay with Auberge du Soleil!
Tickets for Raise a Class are $150 each and tables for six are available for $1,000. All event proceeds will support Access Opportunity.
