HYPE Night 2024
We are still blown away by the impact of HYPE Night 2024! On Wednesday, October 9, 200 guests came out to celebrate HYPE's mission and learn more about the impact we are having on girls of color in the Metro Atlanta area. we:
- Awarded $15,000 in college scholarships to 6 HYPE Future of Tech Scholarship Recipients, thanks to the support of Verizon and Coca-Cola Women in STEM;
- Provided 10 laptops to students, thanks to Compudot;
- Raised over $57,000 to further our mission of educating and empowering girls of color in STEM
- Sponsored over 120 future HYPE Scholars!
And shoutout to Team Scholars, which secured their third HYPE Night victory in a row!
We still have opportunities through this monthly giving initiative to sponsor a HYPE scholar for as little as $38 a month. Visit our website to learn more about how to Sponsor A Student.
We want to give a special thanks to our professional contestants: Michelle Arrington (Verizon, Director of Government Affairs & Community Engagement), Stephanie Espy (Founder & Executive Director, STEM Gems), Trina Hilla (Founder, TLH Consulting), and Tenasia Atkins (AR Analyst, Sage).
And our incredible Emcee: Christina Granville (I Hoop Too Foundation, Founder & CEO)
Our community of support is what allows us to continue to empower our HYPE Scholars. If you are interested in learning more about opportunities to join in our mission and partner with HYPE next year, please email our Marketing and Communications Manager, Autumn A. Arnett.
Thank you again for believing in our mission, and we hope to see you next year at HYPE Night 2025!
Gratefully,
