Fifteen years ago, Best Foot Forward was founded with a clear mission: to support students aging out of foster care on their journey to academic success. Today, that vision has evolved and expanded into a thriving organization that makes a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of students, across all grade levels.
Thanks to the dedication and compassion of supporters like YOU, our mission has grown stronger with each passing year, allowing us to achieve remarkable milestones:
- Expanded Our Reach: What started as a program for foster youth has now evolved to include at-risk students, enabling us to extend our impact to even more students in need.
- Life-Changing Results: Students in our program are graduating at rates significantly higher than the national average, achieving educational and personal goals once thought to be out of reach.
- Community Impact: Together, we’ve built a supportive network of mentors, educators, and advocates committed to creating a brighter future for the next generation.
As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we reflect on the countless students we have supported and the incredible progress we have made—from a small initiative to a powerful movement creating lasting change. With every step forward, we’ve laid the groundwork for a future that will positively impact generations to come.
Your generosity and belief in our mission have been the cornerstone of our success. Thank you for being an integral part of this incredible journey. Together, we’re shaping brighter futures and empowering our youth to shine!
With much gratitude,
Debbie, Donna, and the BFF team
