ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

The Girls of Legacy 2026 Fundraiser brings together a community that believes in showing up, investing, and making a difference.

GIRLS OF LEGACY SCHOLARSHIP AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

In March 2022, Rebecca started the Girls of Legacy Scholarship and Mentorship Program in Austin, Texas under her and her husband David's non-profit LaunchPad. Girls of Legacy offers scholarships and mentorship to disadvantaged Title 1 high school girls, aiding them in pursuing their college education. As part of the scholarship requirements, students are paired with a community/business leader and attend monthly mentoring sessions. Some participants are completing their senior year of high school, while others are in their first year of college. The goal of this program is to aid in the student's education journey, short- and long-term career and life goals and overall health and wellness for their mind and self-worth/self-respect.

We are currently running a *match dollar for dollar* campaign for our Girls of Legacy Scholarship Fund, every dollar donated will be 100% matched by AvantGarde LLC and Founder Rebecca Contreras. Since the program was started over $150,000 has been granted in scholarships.

That’s why we built LaunchPad – The Center. As Co-Founder, my commitment is to create a place where youth and young adults are not just supported, but truly seen,
