HNL Campaign for College: A Mission for Admission
Many times, in life things don’t always go according to plan. Life gives us these ebbs and flows of fortune and tragedy, and while most days don’t have such highs and lows, every once in a while, there’s a moment that stops you in your tracks.
I had a moment like that the other day.
A young woman who worked hard, got into college, and was preparing to start the next chapter of her life unexpectedly lost a significant piece of the funding that was supposed to help get her there. The who and will remain private out of respect for the family, but the larger issue remains: how do we get this kid, who’s done everything right, to academia? I lost sleep over it.
I’m not a rich man, I can’t fix the cost of college. I can’t replace every scholarship dollar that disappears.
I am stubborn and tenacious, though. Problems are only situations that don’t yet have a solution. So, I’d find one.
But we can wash some houses.
This year, Hook N Ladder Power Washing Co. is launching its first ever scholastic fundraising effort:
HNL Campaign for College: A Mission for Admission.
The idea is simple: from August 3 through Labor Day, when you book qualifying exterior-cleaning work with Hook N Ladder, we’ll contribute part of what HNL earns from that job toward helping a student pay for college.
HNL contributes 10% of every qualifying Campaign for College job.
Our goal for the inaugural campaign is $5,000.
And while this year's campaign started because of one young woman's situation, I don't want it to end there.
The Campaign for College will become an annual HNL tradition; with a new student selected each year from a first responder, military, or veteran family, including families who have lost someone in the line of duty or in service to our country.
The mission is straightforward:
You give us work.
We go to work.
Together, we help put a kid through school.
Book by Labor Day and help us make this extraordinary young woman’s dreams come true.
