Friends,
Thank you for the amazing gifts we have received thus far --- half way through our spring fundraising event: RTE College Tour Race! Our volunteers and scholars are grateful for your generosity and your trust in our mission. We have $25,000 left to go to reach our goal of $50,000.
We are so proud to share some happy news about this year's college graduates and Paly graduates!
Among the six talented and remarkable graduates from Paly's Class of 2017 who went straight to a four-year college, RTE scholars have a 100% four-year graduation rate!!! One of these superstars is Sara Aguilar (click on her name to learn more). Sara is graduating with a bachelor's degree in Marketing from Menlo College. She hopes to work to prevent human trafficking in the future. She also represented her college on the women's wrestling team winning national titles.

We also would like to congratulate Ely Callejas, Paly Class of 2019. Ely is finishing at Foothill College and majored in Economics. She is transferring to a four year college within two years, a phenomenal feat!

One of the great stories from our Race's fundraising page is from Zharit Robles who is studying Business Management and Spanish at the University of Redlands. Read her story here. Proceeds will benefit RTE college scholarship fund. | |
This year's RTE applicants are impressive and going places! We have a total of 14 students going directly to four-year colleges and 5 students going to community college. They are on their way to many UC and Cal State campuses! We are so proud of all our young community members!
