Dear RTE Supporters,
Next month I'm planning to ride my bicycle 350 miles (and 21,624' climbing!) from Palo Alto to Cayucos, California to help raise money for Rise Together Education (RTE). RTE is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization helping Palo Alto High School grads from low-income families get TO and THROUGH college.
Rise Together Education is currently supporting 50 amazing college students who are 85% first-generation college and BIPOC, and an amazing 80% of RTE scholars finish their 4-year degree, flipping the statistics for underserved communities.Â
During my time in high school, I have served as a Paly Student Representative to RTE. In my continuing commitment, if I hit my fundraising target — $20 per mile — I'll be able to fully fund TWO scholarships for two four-year RTE college students! I’d feel proud to be able to help two of my classmates in this way.
If you want to support my efforts with a donation, I’d be so grateful. Also, please share this email about about my ride.
Thank you for your support!
