VIP 11 philadelphia proudly supports Herb it forward foundation
In the Philadelphia area, hundreds of students from some of the most challenging neighborhoods have an extraordinary drive to transform their communities from within. But when they get to college, all too often, they often feel alone and misunderstood. As isolation continues, the potential to be the source for change dims.
The Herb It Forward Foundation (HIFF) identifies and supports hardworking, motivated students from disadvantaged backgrounds. These students are rising leaders aspiring to come back to their communities to create the change that they want to see. HIFF provides these college students with mentorship and a community that empowers them to see those changes through and continue to grow into the changemakers they are meant to be.

Thank you to our Business Sponsors and Donors
After only 15 days, this remarkable team hit our goal of $50,000! Of course, we could not stop there. We again turned our hearts to the scholars of Herb it Forward, knowing that for every $1024 that we raised, another student would attend leadership camp. With those scholars in our minds, we pushed forward. This journey allowed us to make a difference in the lives of 60 young scholars, raising a total of $61,583!
