  WELCOME
Too often I have seen our public school students used as pawns between squabbling school boards and city administrations. Even when they work together, plans often take years to implement - too late for students currently in the system.

I started this foundation so competitive students who are caught in this gap can get the resources they need to be the best in their fields - minus the red tape.

If you are an exceptional public school student or someone who knows an exceptional middle or high school student who is ready to achieve their dream but is prevented from doing so by financial barriers I would like to hear from you.

If you feel the same as I do, become a part of the solution by contributing to whatever extent you can.

If we are serious about preparing our young people and our country to compete in this new global economy, then we must be prepared to take decisive action to help our future innovators, scientists, and artists break out of the status quo of mediocrity that has permeated our society and allowed others to move past us.
