Held in November, Fund-A-Scholar 2024 was an incredible evening as supporters gathered at The Stave Room to celebrate Breakthrough Atlanta’s scholars and Teaching Fellows. Together, more than 300 friends, advocates, supporters, and sponsors raised $400,000 for Breakthrough’s life-changing programming! The funds will support more than 130 student scholarships in the next academic year.

Since holding their inaugural Fund-A-Scholar event in 2016, proceeds have helped equip hundreds of students with the tools and resources to succeed in high school, college and beyond. For information on sponsorships, patron packages, or to join the Host Committee, visit breakthroughatlanta.com.
