This is the cornerstone of what inspires kids to continue their education and endure when life gets tough."

She recently shared what Ed means to her as a Jr. Board Member: "It's been said that education is the great equalizer, and organizations like the Ed Foundation give students in our city an opportunity to have academic excellence and support. This is one of the many reasons why I love being a part of the Ed Foundation. I think if you can find a way to contribute to what we're doing, I know that you're going to make a difference in one of our student's lives."
