Children Deserve A Chance Foundation - Attollo

A nonprofit organization

$1,664,046 raised by 9,970 donors

For over a decade, Attollo Prep has been transforming the lives of hundreds of 11th and 12th grade students across Lancaster County. We are deeply grateful for the privilege to serve, and for the unwavering support we have received from our Lancaster community. This year, we invite you to once again stand with us during the Extraordinary Give, taking place TODAY, Friday, November 22nd.

Each year, when we extend an invitation to students to participate in our programs, we present them with an envelope bearing their name, written in gold. The gold is not merely decorative; it is symbolic of several core beliefs we hold dear. It signifies that these students have been purposefully chosen for an extraordinary opportunity—one that will unlock doors to higher education and future aspirations. More profoundly, the gold lettering is a reminder that we recognize and honor the inherent worth of each student. They are individuals deserving of mentorship, resources, and the chance to enhance their own lives and contribute to the betterment of their communities.

This year, as part of our ExtraGive campaign, our theme—“Written in Gold”—embodies these ideals and our commitment to empowering Lancaster’s youth.

We humbly ask for your support in reaching our ExtraGive goal. With a donation of $25, $50, $100, or more, you will play a direct role in helping us continue to "write our students' names in gold." Thank you for your generosity and partnership. Together, we can uplift the next generation of leaders and make a lasting impact on Lancaster’s future.

Mission

The Children Deserve a Chance Foundation (CDCF) was founded by Jordan Steffy in 2008 after having the realization that education is fundamental to success. Five years later in 2013, Attollo was born as part of CDCF. Attollo is a forward-thinking, yet historically informed organization that unifies high school students from all backgrounds to build a pipeline of diverse leaders. Through educational empowerment, we aim to play our part in ensuring a world whose fabric has been rewoven with threads of equity and inclusion. Utilizing our partnerships with school districts throughout Lancaster County, we help support success-oriented students in their pursuit of academic achievement, empowerment, and social engagement. Our programs are focused on guiding our scholars through introspection, identifying their vision for life after high school, and becoming contributing members of society.
