Thanks to your incredible generosity, Sip & Celebrate was a sold-out success—raising $1.28 million and bringing together more than 350 guests for an unforgettable evening of purpose, college success stories, and unwavering inspiration. 

Thank you to everyone who helped make Sip & Celebrate such a memorable evening. We’re incredibly grateful to our Magna Cum Laude sponsors, Aurora Capital Partners and Latham & Watkins, our Dean’s List, Cap & Gown, and Scholar Sponsors (for a complete list of our sponsors, click here), as well as our inspiring speakers—Martha Pantoja, Crystal Carrera, and Andy Marquez. A special thank you to our wonderful host, Michaela Pereira, and our board chair, Wendy Spinner. We’re especially thrilled to recognize our honoree, Brian Werdesheim, whose commitment to mentorship has deeply impacted so many, including his mentees Marco Hernandez, Celine Campos, Talia Enstad, Tania Gordon, and Raphael Anderson. This night was a true success because of each one of you—thank you for being part of it.

Thanks to you, we’re already putting these funds to work.

Your Support in Action

Your support is already making a meaningful impact in the form of multi-year scholarships for fifty-eight high school seniors.This week, your generosity is enabling Fulfillment Fund to host three college students for a three-week marketing internship. Later in the month, we will be launching Fulfillment Fund University for over 100 incoming freshmen, ensuring they are ready to navigate the journey ahead with confidence. Your sponsorship or paddle raise last Wednesday is fueling college and career dreams today, tomorrow and throughout the year. 

Thank You for Believing in Them!

Whether you sponsored the event, attended, helped spread the word, or gave from the heart — you made this possible. Thanks to your support, the impact is already being felt, and we’re excited to share more stories of your generosity in action in the weeks ahead.

At the event, our CEO, Amy Grat, unveiled highlights from Fulfillment Fund’s new three-year strategic plan: Grow with C.A.R.E. This initiative is centered around four key pillars:

  • Career-Ready College Graduates
  • Alumni as Learners and Leaders
  • Resource Expansion Through Partnership
  • Elevating Our Brand

Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this vision to life together.
