Soaring Together

An Event Benefiting Our Students & Programs in All Eight Counties We Serve

At 10,000 Degrees, we have much to celebrate. After years of setbacks, our students are not just persevering, they’re soaring—persisting in their dreams to become college graduates, and reaching new heights as leaders and changemakers, changing our world for the better.

And now, we are soaring together…
in schools,
in our communities,
in friendship & love, and
in admiration of our incredible students!

On Saturday, April 29, 2023, we invite you
to celebrate with us at our
ONE Amazing Community Gala
and be ONE DEGREE of change.

“We are such fans of 10,000 Degrees! The mission is noble— providing critical support to over 12,000 students from low-income backgrounds to get to and through college. The pride and confidence these new graduates and their families feel is contagious, especially since almost all are the first in their families to go to college. By helping these young students achieve success and confidence, we are making our communities healthier and stronger too.”
