You can count the seeds in the apple, but you can't count the apples in the seeds.

Funds raised will be used to:
supplement tuition
fund college road trips
provide transportation for students outside of our area
close the digital divide for underprivileged students that lack technical devices/support at school and home
purchase more software to prepare students for secondary education
increase opportunities for financial literacy via entrepreneurial experiences
and so much more!

About Our Inaugural Fundraiser
Sankofa is a Twi word from the Akan Tribe of Ghana. Sankofa encourages learning from the past to inform the future, reaching back to move forward, and lifting as we climb.
LinaBean Academy’s program and educational philosophy are centered around knowing thyself and commitment to moving the community forward one scholar at a time. As an inaugural celebration, we’re making The Sankofa Gala more special than ever in hopes that you come back, celebrate and create unforgettable memories with us... year after year!
