The Lunch Break

Come see how your support helps single parents achieve their academic and career dreams at ASPSF's second annual statewide event, presented by Carol and Witt Stephens.

The Lunch Break will honor ASPSF's incredible community partners, and you'll hear directly from inspiring scholarship recipients Briana Boen and Kwami Abdul-Bey. The program will also include keynote speaker Dr. Sherece West-Scantlebury of the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.

Outstanding Partner Awards
This year's event will celebrate the 2024 Outstanding Partners to single parent students. These awards honor individuals, organizations, companies, and schools for their exceptional generosity and/or partnership with ASPSF.
