Refresh the Gift

 

 

Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that encourages millions of people to uplift nonprofits and social impact causes everywhere. 

 

On Tuesday, December 3rd, we invite you to pay tribute to the founding gift that former Coca-Cola Bottling United President and CEO, Crawford T. Johnson III, and former Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, Roberto C. Goizueta, announced on May 8, 1986, creating the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.

 

Together, we’re calling on our community to help raise $20,000 – the equivalent of a Coca-Cola Scholars Program scholarship – to support the wraparound services, programs, and initiatives provided to Coke Scholars.

 

Your donation on Giving Tuesday will Refresh the Gift, paying homage to the spirit of philanthropy that has changed the lives of over 6,900 Scholars to date with countless more lives to be changed for many more years to come.

I believe in the transformative power of investing in young people.

"I support the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation because it empowers the next generation of leaders by providing opportunities for education, personal growth, and community impact. Their commitment to fostering academic excellence and social responsibility aligns with my values, and I believe in the transformative power of investing in young people who are dedicated to making a difference."
