I’m choosing to be a Back-to-School Champion because I know how important it is for young people to have a safe, supportive place to go after school — a third space where they can build meaningful connections with mentors and peers. I’ve seen firsthand the difference it makes when students feel like they belong and have someone who believes in them. This is my way of giving back to something I care deeply about.

*Plus, it’s my birthday month! As I celebrate turning 36, there’s no better gift than knowing we’re helping more students access the incredible programs at The ROCK. Join me in making this school year full of hope and opportunity for local youth.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
