ALIGNMENT

When it comes to making the most with our time, we believe that alignment is critical to success. With the Champions Network we align the expertise of industry professionals with the career aspirations of our scholarship candidates and recipients. When there is a match, we make the introduction for the mentor and mentee to coordinate a game plan to work together.

If your field of professional expertise falls into alignment with the aspirations of a college bound cancer survivor, we need you!
