Solidarity Over Solitude

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren Kofalt (Zhu) and this fundraiser is just one of the five I am currently running. Finding a job after graduating from Penn State University in August 2024 has been incredibly difficult. I wanted to come up with an idea that could help me enhance my portfolio and increase my experience with data analysis. My boyfriend and I are big fans of Ryan Trahan and he is currently running his own fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Hospital. This inspired me to create a plan of my own. I chose five organizations that do amazing work and set a goal and a date to raise it by. Any amount is enough to help make a change.

Thank you for supporting me, my fundraisers, and the power of doing good!
