Later this month, the Foundation would like to sponsor 100 students from Hang Time programs to visit Cascadia and UW Bothell.

"I want to be a pilot but I didn't think I would attend college until Hang Time took me a field trip and introduced me to Cascadia and other local colleges.  Now I am excited to attend college... I am going to work on my homework and my classes and make sure I don't fail any of them so I can continue to pursue the dreams of my future." - Bainbridge T at the 2013 Light A Fire for Learning Luncheon.    

College visits remove barriers for students who may never have considered college as an option.  Removing the mystery about what college is really like by walking on campus, visiting classrooms and seeing students makes the possibility of attending college seem more real.  For some students, like Bainbridge, visiting campus can be just the inspiration they need to get focused on their school work, set academic goals and engage in a college readiness plan.  

Your GiveBIG donation of $8.50 will fund one student to make this important visit to college and to open up the possibility of college for a struggling learner.

Will you sponsor a student for this college campus visit today?
