“I want to take a second to thank everyone who has supported me this far. My dad was recently disabled after the pandemic and I would not have been able to go to school without the generous support of the PGSF and their donors. I am eternally grateful to those who believed in my work and my goals. Thank you so much.”

Devynn Pitts, Senior at Pittsburgh State University
