Determined to Rise

If you invest in education, and allow Spartanburg women and youth to see themselves reflected in successful stories- they will be determined to rise.
Please join the Business and Professional Women of Spartanburg and Spartanburg County Foundation in supporting a wonderful set of programs- designed to help young people in our community see this important message and be inspired to create a success story of their own, and to raise money for continuing education scholarships so that the women in our community can continue to rise! Your donation will help to fund several educational events for Spartanburg Students around the Determined to Rise theme, continuing education scholarships for Spartanburg women, and one final adult show featuring Katherine Goble Johnson and Joylette Goble Hylick; the daughters of famed NASA scientist Katherine Goble Johnson of “Hidden Figures” fame. Programs will also feature local students and community leaders, all ending in a final show to celebrate the sisters and raise scholarship money for our local women to have their own chance to rise!
