“I have been adopting classes for nearly 10 years, and I can say it is my most cherished philanthropic activity. I adore seeing the students I support ‘get it’ and then absolutely ‘take off’ and grow their ideas into viable, working businesses!”
- Patty Alper, Adopt-a-Class founder and sponsor since 2001
