Thirteen Barrio Logan College Institute families from our Barrio Logan, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Upward Bound and San Diego Promise sites got into the holiday spirit with the help of our friends at Life Science Cares.

For the second year in a row, Life Science Cares corporate partners have come together to support BLCI families during the holiday season. Families were nominated by program staff to receive gifts and "adopted" by the folks from Life Science Cares companies Gossamer Bio, Boundless Bio, Evoke-Canale, Recludix Pharma, Kate Therapeutics, Alterome Therapeutics, and Halloran Consulting Groups.

Many families had the opportunity to meet with the team that shopped for them and personally thank them for making their holiday season even brighter.

We're excited for our families to be able to unwrap their gifts together as they celebrate the holidays this year. Thank you to Life Science Cares for organizing this special experience for our families this year.

The Old Globe of San Diego invited BLCI families to a family event based on the popular holiday story, A Christmas Carol. Families from BLCI's Barrio Logan and El Cajon sites enjoyed seeing the infamous ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

The Santiago Family was grateful for the opportunity to attend the show as a family. Eighth grade student, Erick had a rough week prior to the show but loved having the holiday outing to look forward to as a chance to bond with his family.

Thank you to the Old Globe of San Diego for the tickets and for providing our students and their families with joyous experiences.

100% of our high school seniors graduate from high school and enroll in college. This is nearly double the national average of first-generation students not benefitting from our program. Visit the link in our below to make a tax-deductible 2022 donation today!
