Surge Family, we are so humbled by your support.
Thank you for joining us to celebrate the past decade of work and raise funds to continue that work for another decade. We couldn’t do it without you, and we cherish the times our community gets to gather together to celebrate as a whole.
As of today, we’ve raised more than $1 million for Surge through Ascension. If you missed your chance to attend or want to pitch in to fund future programming, the raffle is still open! You have until November 18th to grab a raffle ticket and enter to win fabulous prizes and experiences.
Check out the celebrations’s Photo Gallery!
For those who couldn’t attend Ascension, you won’t want to miss our “Dear Surge” campaign video! Watch it here and consider how Surge has impacted your life, relationships, and career over the past decade.
Do you still need Ascension swag? You can buy it now!
“Surge has been a life-changing experience. We go through most our lives wondering what that experience would be like. Then to have lived one as a function of being part of Surge, for me is a special gift.”
— Ana Martinez Shropshire, Surge 2015 Alumna & Partner, Charter School Growth Fund
