Hello Friend,
We like to say in Elevate that no one gets there alone. Last week’s Vision Breakfast was a true testament to that statement.
I was inspired by the 150+ partners and friends of Elevate who attended our annual vision planning event and helped us kick off our year-end funding initiative to raise essential funding. What was just as inspiring were the stories shared by students, staff, and alumni of how the relationships they’ve forged in Elevate have transformed their lives.
I can think of no better way to demonstrate the impact of Elevate than to hear from the students we get to see growing, changing, and thriving daily, and great feedback about our featured seniors and alumni has continued to poor in from our Vision Breakfast guests!
It is incredible what the support of a caring community can bring out in a student. We see it in our classrooms and mentoring programs, and I want you to know that you are a part of this success, too. Thanks to our donors, volunteers, and community of supporters, Elevate students can feel supported, encouraged, challenged, and prepared for what lies ahead of them.
With your support, we’ve seen:
- 95% more students expect to have a great future
- 131% more act with the future in mind
- 154% more are not afraid to try new things
- 99% more work harder
We have officially begun our Fall Fundraising Campaign, and we need your help to continue changing lives in our city. I ask that you please consider donating to help us reach our goal of $200,000 by December 31, 2024.
When you support Elevate, you’re supporting students who want a brighter future for themselves. In a world where positive adult relationships are few and far between, our accredited classes and mentorship programs allow students to engage in meaningful relationships that offer guidance toward a successful future.
Alyssa said of her time in Elevate, “Elevate helps me prepare for my future every time I’m with them. The staff talks to us about what we would like to do in the future…we go on vision trips with many different jobs, and that keeps me open-minded about what I want to do.” For many students like Alyssa, Elevate is their first time they’ve prepared for the future in this way.
Our Teacher-Mentors are dedicated to ensuring that our students can envision a healthy, successful future. These relationships are the key to Elevate’s mission of helping students in our city see their limitless potential and providing the tools to help them achieve it.
Your donation can help provide critical funding so we can continue providing life-changing mentoring.
An investment in Elevate is an investment in the future leaders of our city. Please consider donating so we can continue to build up the pipeline of talented, capable young adults by supporting their big goals for a bright future.
Serving with you,
Aaron Story
CEO & President, Elevate Indianapolis
