EMPOWERMENT TOUR 2009
to benefit Chicago’s Urban Students Empowered Foundation
4 MONTHS, 5000 MILES, 15 COUNTRIES
In conjunction with our journey across Europe, we have decided to raise money and awareness for the Chicago-based non-profit, US Empowered. Our goal is to raise $5,000 for the US Empowered college preparation and college access program for low-income high school students. Currently, only 18% of Chicago Public School students enroll in 4-year colleges after graduation. Only 6% graduate from higher education by the time they are 25. US Empowered works to change these
statistics. To date, 100% of US Empowered Fellows have been accepted to college and all are still pursuing higher education. Please help us support these bright youth by providing the resources necessary to enable them to attend college.
Thank you in advance for your support -- your generosity inspires us,
John and Will Lankford
