Empower young Black women with Teodora

A nonprofit fundraiser supporting

I’m raising $1,500 to support Laurens Legacy Scholarship Foundation during Long Beach Gives.

$345

raised by 8 people

$1,500 goal

Both Long Beach and Lauren's Legacy Scholarship foundation hold a special place in my heart. Long Beach is a city where I've grown up alongside my best friend, Lauren. Community meant so much to her, and it is such a big part of Long Beach so naturally it's also reflected in this foundation.

I'm so grateful for Long Beach Gives and excited to help raise money and awareness alongside hundreds of local organizations. Last year, we surpassed our goal of $5K and this year we're hoping to double that. We're looking to raise $10K to support our programming and help grant scholarships to young Black women looking to pursue higher education.

🦋 Please join me in building a legacy rooted in opportunity, equity and love.
