SUPPORT US
Thank you for your generosity! We, at WHEELpassion, appreciate your donation. Your support helps us deliver quality programs like Danbury TALKS, to establish educational opportunities for underrepresented college-bound high school graduates who intend to enroll in academic Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) disciplines, the medical fields, and other relevant majors. We also plan to establish scholarship opportunities for our Leaders & Scholars Fellowship Program graduates via our fundraising efforts.
The charge of WHEELpassion is to encourage and enable you to reach your goals. To prospective candidates, we ask you to come to us with the following traits: First, be a curious thinker. Second, be that one who examines the possible while exploring the probable. And finally, “know that your creativity will pave a path to your goals, and reaching your goals is a direct result of your courage to dream.” Now put that controller down, and go outside and play!
