This charitable foundation was started for the public high school students of The High School of Fashion Industries. The sole purpose of this budding mission is to make sure all applying students have access to funds for small important things that encompass their academic years.
I began this foundation, like many things in my life, when I am told ‘NO’; I make it my business to go as far as I can to prove anyone wrong.
Yes, I can.
And because it is for the children that I hold dear to my heart, my students, I will go farther.
I have recognized that anything worth pursuing, and achieving takes more than just my own will. It takes the love, support, and actions of those same like-minded people to make it happen whether through donations or services.
I now turn the mission over under the leadership of Ms. Lisa *Lee Rosa. She is my like-minded ‘people’, with which this all began.
Although no longer at HSFI, a decision that has devastated our mission, we have halted fashion focused scholarships and refocused on the core of our mission, raising money for students in high financial need. My love for my alma mater has not relinquished and will find a way to continue serving fashion focused scholars in the future.
Today, students of Murry Bergtraum High School for Business will benefit first hand from our fundraising objective and welcome all NYC High School students to apply.
We continue to count on your generosity steadfast in the belief that
every ONE person has the power to ignite CHANGE for All.
