Record-Breaking Grant 

Awarded to Reality Changers 

     October 4, 2011

For Immediate Release   

The California Wellness Foundation

 

The California Wellness Foundation (TCWF) awarded a record-breaking $250,000 to Reality Changers, making this the largest grant ever received by the organization. "This program is helping young people from neighborhoods with the highest rates of gang violence and homicides in San Diego become the first in their families to go to college," said Julio Marcial, a TCWF program director.

 
Reality Changers Founder and President, Christopher Yanov, is proud to once again receive funding from TCWF, "TCWF has given more grant support - $475,000 - to Reality Changers than any other entity, leaving the $500,000 level available for the program's next top donor.
Any takers?"

Thank You from RC Grads   

 

Reality Changers Surprises 50 Students 

at Point Loma and Lincoln High Schools 

 

Scholarships Reality Changers invited 25 low-income, high performing seniors at each of two local high schools to a special lunch last month where each 12th grader enjoyed a meal that consisted of pizza, soda, and... a scholarship valued at $2,500. Each of these selected students will be able to participate in one of Reality Changers' newest 20-week Academies designed to help seniors navigate the college application process. The total value of the scholarships distributed so far is $125,000. Two more San Diego schools are scheduled to be selected in October.
