BRUNCH BUNCH KID-TURNED-TEACHER TEAMS UP WITH FOUNDATION TO INVOLVE HIS STUDENTS IN PHILANTHROPY
In grade school, Colby joined our BrunchBunch.com Mentoring Program. When he finished high school, our foundation – The 11-10-02 Foundation - gave him a college scholarship. Now graduated and working as a school administrator, he wanted to be a young philanthropist, too. He also wanted to engage his students in the process. So, this past year, Colby launched a coin drive at school to benefit 11-10-02. By donating spare change, the kids were able to raise hundreds of dollars – a few nickels and dimes at a time. In turn, The 11-10-02 Foundation earmarked 100% of what was raised to fund a scholarship (and will be giving out an equal amount as a second scholarship via its own existing funds). This Spring, Colby and The 11-10-02 Foundation's founder, Greg Forbes Siegman, met with some of the students under consideration for the first scholarship.
MORE IN MASSACHUSETTS
The 11-10-02 Foundation has funded five more college scholarships in the Boston area. First Literacy – a highly respected nonprofit organization based there -- will once again be selecting the local students who receive these Boston-area scholars. In total, The 11-10-02 Foundation has now funded more than fifteen scholarships in the state of Massachusetts.
