At “Cap & Gown” we will be celebrating our students’ accomplishments, and recognizing the Honorable Willie L. Brown, Jr., recipient of our 2015 First in Family Award, presented that evening.
Honorable Willie Brown, a two-term Mayor of San Francisco, served in the California State Assembly for 30 years and is the longest-serving Speaker of that body. He is a first generation college graduate. Mayor Brown’s long and successful career is an inspiration to our students.
At First Graduate, our mission is to help students be the first in their family to graduate college. We commit to our students for 10 years—from seventh grade through college graduation leading to meaningful employment. Our unique program includes year-roundcoaching, academic enrichment, family guidance, career preparation and access to college scholarships. We currently serve 361 students, and have an ambitious goal of helping 2,000 students in the next five to seven years.
Your funding will help make our challenge a reality, transforming the lives of our students and their families. We know you understand the importance of investing in our future leaders and strengthening our communities, and are deeply grateful for your support.
We hope you will join us in celebrating the Honorable Willie Brown and our students’ success on April 21, 2015.
