How You Can Help
Why help?
We have created many ways that you can help our organization grow. The goal of the event is to gain as much support from the community, parents, and friends of our students. In an effort to let them know that we are behind them 100% and will continue to encourage and support their efforts to gain access and attain a quality college education.
Matching Gifts
Does your employer match charitable contributions? You can double or even triple the impact of your gift by including a company matching gift form or notifying your employer of your contribution.
Young Legends Ball
The Young Legends Ball is our Annual Fundraiser where we honor all the participants in our program. It is a star-studded event, where everyone is dressed in black-tie attire. The Young Legends Ball is a perfect opportunity for all of us to come together, as a family, and tell our "young legends" "we are here for you; we support you, and love you."
To ensure that this event will reach its goal, we have developed multiple ways for the business community to get involved and make a difference. We would like your help to assist our students experience an opportunity of a lifetime. As you know, a college education is no longer a privilege but a necessity.

Gifts In-Kind
Higher Heights YEP, Inc. gratefully accepts donations of goods or services that meet our current needs. Items should be new and furniture or computers must be in good working condition.
Gift cards always come in handy. Each year our graduating seniors are in need of college "care packages" to assist them with housing, books, laundry, and general school supplies. Gift cards to Stop & Shop, Shop-Rite, Target, Staples or Wal-Mart are extremely useful in helping these youth to stock their going away bags or purchase linens and other supplies.
Additionally, school supplies such as pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, and calculators are always in short supply for our general programming needs.
For more information about the types of items or services that will benefit our youth, please contact Chaka Felder at (203) 466-1228.
