- Raise $10,000 by Feb. 28, 2026 to provide scholarships to 14-18 girls (for previous recipients and new students.)
- Continue various types of scholarships, including support for tuition, uniforms, supplies and books.
- Invest in the future of girls and young women in Cambodia, Kenya and Zimbabwe as well as in the Chicago area.
Here’s how you can support Educate a Girl:

the EAG Bake Sale on Sunday, Jan. 18.
Drop off baked goods Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or Sunday at 8 a.m. - Bid on delicious desserts (including Wendy Anastasia’s Famous Carrot Cake) through our Silent Auction.
- Encourage your children to participate in EAG activities through Gary Kids Helping Hands and Gary Youth.
