Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
 

The Wall Street Alpha Charitable Foundation Inc. (WSACF) in collaboration with the "Wall Street Alphas Road Runners Club" (an officially recognized running club of the New York Road Runners) presents "Miles 4 Mentorship". Shawn Curwen, President of the WSACF will be running his second ING Half  Marathon to benefit educational programming and scholarships to the students of the G.E.N.T.S. (Gaining Essential Networking Tools for Success) mentorship program.

There are significant issues that disproportionately affect African-American and Latino-American men in our urban areas. We have seen higher incidences of imprisonment and attrition from high school, decreased reading aptitude, and higher rates of Sexual Transmitted Diseases, specifically HIV/AIDS. It is the long-standing belief of the WSACF, that education is the key to changing the mentality of our youth. The Alpha G.E.N.T.S. mentoring program provides these young men with extraordinary life-changing experiences through a myriad of educational programs, college trips and life long mentoring.

Through fundraisers like "Miles 4 Mentorship" and the support of sponsors, the WSACF and Wall Street Alphas Road Runners Club will provide resources and solutions to build intellectual and social equity among the underrepresented youth and their communities. These resources are vital if we are to have a positive impact on the lives of our youth.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
