We did it!

January 05, 2024

Thanks to your support, we are thrilled to announce that we have completely surpassed our goal, raising $31,309 for our students. The incredible generosity of the AAP community means that more students in need will have access to essential resources such as transportation, groceries, and tuition assistance. 

Your giving has also helped us unlock an astounding $100,000 endowed fund to support AAP’s greatest needs, thanks to another generous fellow supporter of the program. 

The success of this campaign is a testament to the continued compassion and power of our community. Whether you were in AAP yourself or know someone who was, you can see what happens when we work together. 

Together, AAP will continue to be an advocate, resource, and supporter of our diverse group of talented students. We look forward to sharing more about how your contribution is making a difference in the year ahead. Thank you and Happy New Year!
