Over 500 students, alumni, family members, and change-makers in the business, education, and philanthropy community will come together to recognize the accomplishments of the Class of 2018 and witness the unveiling of our high school students' internship placements as they cross the stage.
This year, in addition to our featured student speakers, we are honored to welcome Kevin Hart, SVP at Kaiser Permanente as our Keynote Speaker to discuss his breakthrough journey to become a top leader at one of DiversityInc's 2017 Top 50 Companies for Diversity.
Mr. Hart will be joined on stage by current and former students who will share their breakthrough moments and introduce the recipient of this year's Community Partner Award for their role in closing the opportunity gap.

Why Breaking Through?

Our signature annual event is an opportunity to celebrate our young professionals and directly address the opportunity gap, together.
