OpportunityTalks 2020
November 12, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
Thursday, Nov. 12, 8-9 a.m.
The Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS) signature fundraiser, the OpportunityTalks Breakfast, is going virtual for 2020. Are you game to join us?
Join us on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2020 from 8-9 a.m., and put your college knowledge to the test with Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show as he challenges Brad Smith, President of Microsoft and WSOS board chair, to play “Are You Smarter than an Opportunity Scholar?” In this action-packed hour, you’ll hear stories of persistence and success from Opportunity Scholars and industry partners. And you’ll be invited to invest in outstanding student outcomes as we seek to raise $500,000 to increase education access for Opportunity Scholars.
With your commitment, we are reducing barriers to higher education by supporting science, technology, engineering, math (STEM), health care and trade students and launching skilled professionals ready to compete in industries our economy needs to rebound and thrive. Every dollar you invest in Washington students today is matched 1:1 by the state of Washington, so your gift has double the impact!
WSOS is committed to being a win-win-win solution for students, employers and Washington taxpayers. We are fortunate to once again bring together our corporate visionaries, local leaders and generous donors to create opportunity throughout Washington. The next generation of STEM, trade and health care leaders in our state are waiting: are you game to launch their careers?
