Mr. Ty Howard
Why Do You Give?
It's a simple answer:
The more support young people receive from their community and successful business leaders, the more likely they will become successful and commit to better their communities.
Every first generation college bound student needs a caring adult role model in his or her life; someone who will support and encourage them to discover, tap into and unleash the greatness within.
For the big steps they will take... will begin the movement and advancement in higher education for generations to follow.
Best Wishes,
Ty Howard
