Our goal
We want to help support opportunities for At-Risk Youth to achieve their education and career goals by raising funds for the Richard Cox "Ignite" Scholarship. This scholarship has been established in honor of Richard, Cox, who has made it his life's work for the past 20 years to help disadvantaged youth "IGNITE" a desire and passion to want more in life despite their circumstances.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics
Each year, approximately 20,000 youth will age out of the foster care system in the US
12% of high school dropouts are unemployed
High school dropouts are more than 8x as likely to commit crimes and serve prison time
We are currently raising funds for the IGNITE Scholarship which will provide tuition assistance for At-Risk Youth to attend a university or career/technical program.
