Centre PACT 
High school students participating in Centre PACT met with five local philanthropists from the community this month to learn about how their passions informed their giving.  

Community members were excited share their experiences and to help shape the next generation of local philanthropists!

After reviewing grant applications and visiting three local non-profit organizations last semester, Centre PACT students will begin fundraising this semester.  

Their focus this year is "Educating and Inspiring Youth for a Healthier,  Brighter Future."

You can contribute to this impactful group of young philanthropists here:
