Time to Spring Into Action! The Thurman Perry Foundation April Newsletter
Spring Updates from The Thurman Perry Foundation!
I am beyond excited to share some truly amazing news with you! We are incredibly proud to announce our newest cohort of scholars for The Perry Second Chances Scholarship — and each of them has been awarded a $10,000 scholarship. These are the largest individual awards we have ever given in the history of The Thurman Perry Foundation. It is a milestone moment for us, and a true reflection of what is possible when a community comes together to believe in second chances.
It is the honor of my life to do this work — to stand alongside those who are rebuilding their lives with courage, hope, and determination.
We are also deeply honored to be in partnership with A New Way of Life Reentry Project, founded by CNN Hero Susan Burton. Susan’s transformative work has changed the lives of formerly incarcerated women around the world, and together, we are committed to continuing that legacy of empowerment and new beginnings
We could not do what we do without you!
As we look forward, we invite you to be part of our next big chapter. This May, we are launching our Woman2Woman Fundraiser, with a goal to raise $50,000 to sustain the organization in these politically arduous times that are depleting our funding sources. Your support will directly fund more scholarships, more opportunities, and more lives transformed. We can’t reach this goal without you — every donation moves us closer to a future where every woman has the chance to rewrite her story.
Thank you for walking with us, believing in second chances, and helping to make history.
With love and gratitude,
Sincerely,
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH
