Join us in planning and hosting the 2022 Fundraising Gala “Dare to Dream Big” as AASuccess students and alumni break the cycles of social injustices such as mental wellness, representation of minorities in S.T.E.M, and the empowerment of women. As we conclude our 15th year, AASuccess members have continued to progress their passions which breaks the barriers of the traditional American dream. Our students continue to strive and persevere while navigating through their education and unique societal issues. AASuccess invites you to sponsor our students’ successes in executing our following goals for 2022: Mental Health Conference for 40 underserved teenagers, empowering 10 women in cultivating their career paths, and implementing or exposing 40 children in S.T.E.M.
