Harvest of Hope: October 19, 2023
We can't thank you enough for celebrating with us at Harvest of Hope 2023 at The Stevens Estate in North Andover, MA. What an unforgettable evening filled with joy, love and inspiration. We gathered to celebrate 17 years of providing an independent, tuition-free, middle school education for girls in Lawrence and we looked ahead to our future as we embark on the most ambitious fundraising campaign in our history, Ready to Rise.
We were overwhelmed with gratitude and happy to report that we have already raised $19 million towards our $30 million goal to create an inspiring new space for our students and expand our program to include our youngest learners. We look forward to staying in touch with each and every one of you about how you can get involved with us on this journey.
Because of your generosity, Esperanza students and alumni get to experience a transformative education and 12+ year graduate support that encourages them to dream BIG, overcome obstacles, and be their authentic selves. Support today to sustain our tomorrow!
Why Your Support Matters:
We are tuition-free, but not cost-free. It takes dedicated resources to celebrate, challenge, and inspire each student to embrace their brilliance. Money raised from this event supports The Esperanza Fund, which includes some exciting new initiatives this year:
Increasing after-school wellness programs by adding three additional community partners.
Deepening arts engagement by bringing students to a professional performance and producing our own school play.
Enhancing our nutrition program by creating additional offerings to fuel students through our extended day activities.
Uplifting our library by diversifying our book collection and improving our student study space.
