What 15th Annual Success Starts With Hope Virtual Breakfast

When Friday, May 8, 2020

How BHGH is creating a 15 minute fun virtual event video that will be shared with Table Captains and their guests on Friday, May 8th.

Your Role Invite guests to watch the Event Video on May 8th. Follow up with each of your guests on May 8th to see if they have watched the event video and if not, encourage them to watch within the next couple of weeks. There is no deadline, but we are hopeful people will watch sooner than later, and you as Table Captain will have the best influence to get them to do so.

Why To raise $300,000 or more which will provide BHGH Scholars with a quality education, holistic support and family-like housing.

Honoring: Scottsdale Active 20/30 Club

The Scottsdale Active 20/30 Club is a philanthropic and social club comprised of up to fifty young men under the age of forty, and has raised millions of dollars for local Arizona non-profit organizations. The Club has partnered with Boys Hope Girls Hope of Arizona since 1999 and has made life-changing Residential and Academy Program Scholarships available to academically capable and motivated children-in-need.

Dear Virtual Table Captain,

The health and safety of our supporters is a top priority for BHGH; thus, we have decided to cancel our “in-person” event on Friday May 8th AND GO VIRTUAL! The need to raise funds and awareness for the mission of BHGH is even more important now as 90 scholars and their families are requiring additional emotional, logistical and basic needs support from BHGH!

We know this "virtual" environment puts a new twist on things. We are hopeful that without constraints of a specific day or time, and no limit to the number at your table, BHGH will be able to secure the support needed to serve our scholars and families. WE COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!

Thank you,

Executive Director

Boys Hope Girls Hope of Arizona (BHGH) helps academically capable children-in-need by providing academic support, enrichment opportunities, and the resources scholars need to reach their full potential, which sometimes includes housing. At BHGH, 95% of our scholars come from low income families and will be the first in their family to graduate college. From the start of sixth grade through college graduation, scholars gain access to the resources and support necessary to obtain a college degree, become true leaders in their communities, and break the generational cycle of poverty for themselves and their families.

What is the BHGH difference?

One in five young people in Arizona have not completed high school and a similarly large proportion of young people in the state are disconnected from education—At BHGH, 100% of our scholars graduate high school and directly enroll in college.

Today’s four-year college graduates will earn nearly $1 million more over their working lives than will those who only receive a high school diploma—At BHGH, 86% of our scholars graduate from college within six years.

Program graduates are attending or have attended Arizona State University, Colgate, Colorado College, Dartmouth, DePaul University, Gonzaga, Northern Arizona University, Pepperdine, St. Anselm College, St. Louis University, St. Edwards, University of Arizona and the University of Southern California, and more. 95% of BHGH students are the first in their family to attend college.

The Residential Program serves 8 boys and 8 girls. The Academy Program serves up to 42 students. There are currently 32 young adults in the College Program for a total of 90 active BHGH Scholars.

“I am not just another number that has been affected by the influence of the BHGH community, but another life that has been changed and given the opportunity to better the world around me.

By being a part of the BHGH community, I carry the message that there is hope for all of those that go through troubles and that there are communities that are more than willing to help.”
