"Now, I can say, 'I have the ability to go to college...'"

During our 2011 Senior Celebration, Marc publically shared his experience growing up in an environment plagued by substance abuse, gang violence and low-performing schools. He stood proudly before an audience of 1,000 people and stated that he now knows college is within reach because of College Bound.
