We're excited to reconnect with Gear Up, one of our past Shark Tank partners, to support the students they're working with this year. Gear Up is a local, non-profit that helps first generation students with financial need prepare for and succeed in their transition to college.
Join us at Java Vino @ 6pm on Oct. 22nd, as we assemble care packages and write encouraging notes for Gear Up students who are beginning the second half of their first semester of college. A few words of support can make a meaningful difference as they navigate this important milestone.
Gear Up will provide all care package items and shipping materials. This is a family-friendly event, so bring the whole family and lend a hand. While you're there, enjoy dinner, connect with Gear Up and fellow Rotarians, and help send some encouragement to local students working toward their goals!
