Our RISE Scholarship Dinner is a fundraising event to provide scholarships for students attending HBCUs and to support our programs and services throughout the year. Our theme is Recognizing & Investing in Student Excellence (R.I.S.E.) as this is at the heart of our mission and what we strive to achieve through our various programs and services for students and families in the Pittsburgh region. We value the importance of education and the power it has to transform the future. We endeavor to make a difference in the lives of our students and provide them with the tools they need to reach their goals.

We also take this time to recognize and celebrate community champions who are making a impactive difference in the Pittsburgh community and our world.
