You've heard from current students, past students, and College Bound supporters from far and wide. We ask that you consider joining the College Bound Honor Society today with a monthly pledge of just $83 over the next 5 years, but of course any amount helps.

We ask that any contribution you plan to make be done within the next 48 hours in order for it to count towards the generous gift matches of Troutman Pepper and an Anonymous Donor.

Our Goal is $100,000
Quest to $100,000

If you were unable to attend the Honors Society Virtual Brunch to hear the IMPACT that our program makes on our student's lives, we welcome you to register for a Virtual Site Meeting Visit.
This experience is one that you DO NOT want to miss!!

Thank you for all you do to make our community a better place!

Sincerely,
College Bound

We also award our College Bound scholarships during this gala event. Last year, we awarded over $125,000 to deserving students to help them obtain a college education.

Participants of College Bound are students enrolled in public and public charter schools throughout the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. We offer an array of programs including Academic Mentoring, College Tours, and Financial Literacy workshops. Our newest program is the Virtual Mentoring Program that supports our Academic Mentoring Program alumni through college. Our mission is to prepare our students to enter college, earn a degree, and achieve their personal and professional goals.

​It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the Fourth Annual College Bound Gala: An Encore Evening with E. Faye Butler.

The event will be held at the National Union Building in Washington D.C. and promises to be one of our most exciting events of the year. Guests will be entertained by the sultry sounds of Broadway legend E. Faye Butler.  This elegant evening of music, delicious food and wine, dancing, along with both silent and live auctions all while benefiting a worthy cause.

Equally important, your sponsorship will help fulfill the College Bound mission to prepare public school students in the metropolitan D.C. area to enter college, earn a degree, and achieve their personal and professional goals.

We invite you to take a closer look at this growing organization and become one of the leading companies to partner with College Bound to help realize the College Bound vision of making college completion a reality for students, allowing them to positively contribute to our society.
