Yes, that is my high school graduation photo. Bask in the thick black eyeliner glory y'all (I must've kept those eyeliner companies in business, sheesh!)

Please help me raise some very important funds for Minds Matter Colorado and the phenomenal high school students this organization supports.

We’re in a moment right now where the foundation of equitable access to education is just not as secure as it once was. It's a tough time to have a dream without the resources and support to fortify it.

But you can help. We all can.

Our students show up every week ready to do the work and overcome the odds. In the 20 years we’ve been around, 100% of our students have been accepted into the four year college or university of their choice WITH scholarships. That’s unheard of, but a testament to how phenomenal our students are. They just need us to keep showing up for them, too.

Every donation - big or small - helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause and these amazing kids.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small! (Seriously, every single cent is welcomed with deep gratitude)
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. (This is a super small ask that carries a very big impact - feel free to copy/tag me if it helps!)

Thank you for standing with me in this effort. Your support means the world.

Hugs and High School Memories,
Vanessa
