Thank You For Giving Your Love to Breakthrough!

Thank you for joining us for a week of virtual fundraising, awareness building and celebrating the Breakthrough at Kent Denver community! This year, attendees had the chance to bid on amazing auction items, learn more about Breakthrough, and hear from current students and alumni Teaching Fellows. Students shared the impact this community has on their college bound journey, and alumni Teaching Fellows shared the impact Breakthrough had on their journey to the classroom as quality educators.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored, donated, and purchased auction items! Your generous contribution helped us exceed our goal! We raised a total of $247,701!! Though the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically increased the already existing opportunity gap for under-resourced students, we are grateful to have a wonderful community of supporters that go above and beyond to make sure we can continue to provide safe and quality programming for students and aspiring teachers!
