Atlanta showed up for the RE Village.

Our 30th Anniversary House Party was more than a celebration. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together around young people and believes in what is possible. We raised $60,000 in the room during our Fund the Mission, directly supporting Raising Expectations and the young people we serve. From Shanna Stephens sharing how RE changed the trajectory of her life, to Sylvia Russell surprising the room with a $30,000 matching gift, to generations of alumni, mentors, partners and friends celebrating together, the night was the RE Village in action. This is what 30 years of relationships looks like. And this is the village that will carry us into what comes next, including 25 Newcastle and even more opportunities for Atlanta’s young people. Thank you to Crystal Edmonson and the @atlbizchronicle for sharing the power of the night and the RE story. Atlanta, thank you for showing up. The House Party may be over, but we’re just getting started. Link in stories.
