Every year, nearly 1 million students will not graduate. Every 26 seconds a student drops out of school. Lets spark a change together.
Canopy is taking a major step in igniting hope for kids who deserve an opportunity to win, to succeed, to grow! Our inaugural S.P.A.R.K. is intended to support, inspire and motivate our youth, through a panel discussion of top entrepreneurs and CEOs in their respective industries(i.e., entertainment, sports, marketing, beauty), who will discuss how theybecame successful, and provide insights for our youth to guide them towards a successfulcareer path.
The panel discussion will be followed by a night of entertainment, to include a high energyteen fashion show highlighting job interview fashion trends and proper workattire. Guests will enjoy complimentary beverages and hors d’oeuvres and VIP attendeescan mingle in the exclusive Google lounge. The event will conclude with gift bags filledwith great products from some of the events sponsors.
The event will raise funds to award scholarships to young students through the following youthfocused, non-profit organization, Wishbone. S.P.A.R.K. will take place on Tuesday, November 12,2013 from 5:00-8:00pm at the Art Directors Club.
Canopys goal is to encourage other industry professionals to help close the achievement gap and bring quality after school and summer programs to low income students.
