Relive the Benefit Concert! Thank you for showing up for College Dreams.

What an incredible evening! 

Last night, the Breakthrough community came together for the 2023 Breakthrough Benefit Concert in the heart of downtown Austin.

Amidst the music and celebration of Breakthrough students and families, we were honored to have powerful sister duo Robin Resas and Zion Hipolito, our guest speakers, reflect upon their experiences to postsecondary success. They reminded us that being first in your family to earn a college degree often requires courage and bravery- but when you’re partnered with Breakthrough on that journey, you aren’t alone:

Attendees heard the theme last night about collective courage – the impact we can all have when we come together as a community. Together, we can help make breakthroughs happen. We can all make bright futures possible. 

Moved by Zion and Robin’s message, Benefit Concert supporters generously contributed over $75,000 in donations to propel the growth of Breakthrough’s College and Career Success program. Coupled with event sponsorships and silent auction bids, our fundraising total has surpassed $530,000.

We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support. We hope to raise an additional $25,000 before the end of the weekend to maximize our $100,000 event night matching gift challenge.

Your contribution, regardless of the amount, will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact of your donation. This will allow us to further expand our rapidly-growing College and Career Success program.
