Supporting a Worthy Cause with 12+

Supporting a Worthy Cause with 12+

We can all agree, the events of 2020 produced a plethora of moments where we wanted to run away and hide from the ills of humanity. But, sometimes there are beautiful opportunities in the midst of the madness. For me, becoming a Board Member of 12 Plus has been a highlight that sprung to life in the chaos that was 2020.

I am a graduate of the Philadelphia school system. I grew up in one of the neighborhoods where 12 Plus gives back. And, I too, had very limited means and even less guidance as I prepared for my high school graduation and life beyond K-12. It is an honor, privilege, and full-circle opportunity to serve 12 Plus. Please join me in an awesome opportunity to support and help hundreds of young adults as they launch into the next chapter of their journey. Let's hope that one day they too will reach back, serve, and share ways of giving to future generations.

Join 12 Plus in throwing a Trunk Party to celebrate 200 high school seniors as they set off on their post-secondary paths ranging from college, trades, and the military. Most of our students come from the most economically challenged neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia and could use a lot of support during this transition. To that end, 12 Plus is providing each senior with a trunk of items they'll need to start their journey as well as notes of encouragement and advice as they face new challenges and experiences. We're asking for supporters to donate items by purchasing them through this Amazon wishlist. Supporters can also send words of encouragement to our students by submitting them through this online form. Make sure donated items ship to the gift registry address and arrive by Friday, 6/4!

We're so thrilled for our seniors and hope you will help us send them off feeling well prepared! #support #giveback
