On October 11, I’ll be running a 100-mile race—and I’m dedicating this effort to a cause that’s very close to my heart: raising funds for Center School. www.centerschoolpa.org

Center School's mission is to provide children who learn differently with a personalized education to realize their potential and reshape the way they view themselves.

This mission is deeply personal to me. My son, Jared, was diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade and attended Center School from second through seventh grade. The school’s small class sizes and individualized support laid the foundation for his learning throughout high school and at Wharton, where he graduated with high honors in 2021. He now works as a financial analyst in New York City.

The video is a speech that Jared gave at Center School's 2017 graduation where he talked about his journey at Center School and how it prepared him for high school...it is 10 minutes long.

Every dollar raised will go directly to the Center School Scholarship Program, which helps families access the specialized education their children need but may not be able to afford.

If you're in a position to contribute, your support would mean a great deal to me and more importantly to the students and families whose lives are changed by Center School. Should you choose to support another cause, thank you for taking the time to consider this one.
