Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. 🌍

🎉 Given the close link between the Uplift and Empower scholarship fund and the book’s broader message to help alleviate poverty at a community level, this is the perfect day to announce some of the most exciting Uplift and Empower news since the fund’s founding!

🤝 For the first time, a business is sponsoring an Uplift and Empower scholar! My deepest gratitude goes to Daniel Denis, Jordan Brown, and the rest of the Runbrook team for supporting the scholarship fund!

♻️ Founded in 2009, Runbrook was one of the first companies in the United States to specialize in optimizing the sustainable design and construction process to improve building projects’ environmental performance and bottom line. Now, Runbrook is a leading authority in sustainable building thanks to its team of expert environmental specialists.

With Runbrook’s generous support, the new fundraising goal for the scholarship fund is $2,500!

If you’d like to donate to the Uplift and Empower scholarship fundraiser this year, there are TWO ways to donate:

1️⃣ Via the official Uplift and Empower GoFundMe, or

2️⃣ Via the PEFMC website by selecting “Uplift and Empower Senior Scholarship” on their donation page.

With your help, the fund can continue supporting students with scholarship money and mentorship support during their first year of university. If you’d like to uplift and empower students, you can start by donating today.

Onward and upward! 📚🌟📚🌟
