Sara's TeenSHARP Fundraiser – 25 for 2025!

A fundraiser for TeenSHARP, Inc.

$625 raised from 16 donors

$500 goal

I’m Sara Kerr.

I’m fundraising for TeenSHARP, Inc..

In a world that feels increasingly dark and heavy, choosing to invest in game changing opportunities for young people feels like HOPE. Join me in supporting TeenSHARP this March 6-7 by donating $25 (or more) to help as many high school seniors as possible realize their full potential by getting into - and successfully navigating - top colleges across the country. I can reach my $500 goal with 20 individual donations of $25 - help me get there!
 
TeenSHARP is run by two of the most amazing humans I know - so not only is it a morally compelling investment - it's one that will result in major impacts for the participating students, their families, and their communities. Thank you! 

About TeenSHARP, Inc.

Mission: Building a diverse pipeline of leaders, one top college admission at a time

Founded in 2009, TeenSHARP is a dynamic learning community that empowers Black, Latino, and low-income students across the Delaware Valley. By using top college admissions as a catalyst for change, we are reshaping the landscape of leadership in America.

What started with just 10 students in a church basement has grown into a movement, reaching hundreds of students through our transformative virtual programs. Over the past 16 years, more than 700 TeenSHARP scholars have gained admission to top institutions like Yale, MIT, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Penn, Vanderbilt, Macalester, Pomona, Northeastern, and Swarthmore.

Our impact goes beyond college acceptance—TeenSHARP alumni graduate on time, with minimal debt. Nearly all complete college within four years (all within six), and on average, they leave with $15,000 or less in student loans—a fraction of the national average.

At TeenSHARP, we don’t just help students get in—we prepare them to lead and thrive.
