You’ll meet Mrs. Obama, soak up all the inspiration you can and take a photo that’s bound to become a cherished family heirloom. Still with us? Great. Because you’ll also score VIP passes to the event itself, where you’ll mingle with celebrity guests and celebrate all the awesome students pursuing higher education. It’s going to be like one big party! (And did we mention Mrs. Obama will be there?) Flights and hotel included.

Who You'll Help
Started by Michelle Obama during her time at the White House, the Reach Higher initiative works to inspire and encourage young people to complete their education beyond high school—whether at a community college, technical school or four-year university. Their work continues today by supporting college aspirations and access for first-generation, low-income, students of color. Your generosity will help Reach Higher build a college-going culture for students everywhere, ensuring they have the necessary resources and support to turn their college dreams into a reality.
