Spring Fundraiser

We are so appreciative of the generous donations we received during the 1st Annual ILAC Spring Fundraiser! Thank you!! We achieved ~10% of our goal, raising enough funds to support two more ILAC Interns over the next year! 
 
The ILAC Intern is our newest initiative that offers IINSPIRE seniors professional nonprofit work experiences to bolster their independence, teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Below, you'll read more from our current ILAC Intern, Briyana Carter, participating in our pilot launch. She presented a summary from her first independent project where she sought feedback from current IINSPIRE Scholars!
 
Join us in CONGRATULATING our Raffle Winners: 
Sergio Rodriguez, Alfredo Colina, Glorie Borsay, 
Grace Rohrdanz, Briyana Carter, and Emily Durrer!! 
 
Thank you for your participation!
 
Although our Spring Fundrasier is over, there is still time to support our other initiatives. 
We look forward to next year's Spring Fundraiser!
