CELEBRATING BREAKTHROUGH STUDENTS & ALUMNI

As part of the Breakthrough community, we are fortunate for the opportunity to partner with many amazing individuals pursuing their dreams! A number of Breakthrough Alumni and college students are attending the Benefit Concert, which will be indicated on their name tag. We know you will enjoy engaging in conversation and celebrating their Breakthrough journey with them!

Of course, sharing personal stories can sometimes be a vulnerable experience. Breakthrough strives to uphold the ethical standard of “Do No Harm” within our community, which includes approaching everyone without judgement and respecting their boundaries. Thank you for helping us ensure a welcoming space!
