About Us

13th Gear Inc is a 501-3C tax exempt organization who is dedicated to supporting scholars in our community as they navigate the transition to higher education. We understand that many financially challenged students lack the necessary resources and support for a successful send-off to the college of their choice. In response, we provide trunk offerings specifically designed to address these needs, ensuring that deserving students have the essential items they require for a smooth and comfortable start to their college journey.


By providing local support to our scholars, we not only alleviate their financial burden but also foster a sense of community care and encouragement. We believe that every student, regardless of their background or financial situation, deserves a fair chance at pursuing higher learning. Through your support, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these students, enabling them to embark on their college experience with confidence, knowing that their community believes in their potential and wants to see them succeed.


Our initiative not only benefits the scholars but also presents an opportunity for local businesses to expand their reach and make a positive impact. Through advertisement and sponsorship collaborations, local businesses have the chance to contribute to the academic journey of these scholars while gaining exposure and building lasting connections within the community.

 

Your donations play a vital role in making this mission a reality. Together, we can empower minority scholars, provide them with the necessary support and resources, and ensure that they have a memorable and successful college experience. Your generosity will not only help students on an individual level but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of our community as a whole.
