Happy New Year! 2019 is the start of a new beginning. It’s an opportunity to set new goals, to grow, and to dream new dreams. It’s the perfect time to reflect on what matters most and how to make those dreams a reality. For us, that means looking at our journey as a Foundation, reflecting on what we are greatly passionate about, and how we can best use our platform to make a positive difference. It’s with great joy that we share those results with you today, through Newwave Foundation’s new Vision and Mission.

Throughout the creative process, our team spent long hours together with colorful post-it notes, a very large dry erase board and lots of questions like: what do we stand for? Who are we trying to reach? Where are they located? Who ate the last slice of pizza??? Every year, we’ve discovered a little more about who we are called to serve, the causes that get us excited and the ways we want to make a difference. Together, it became clear that our Higher Purpose lies in education.

We have some very exciting plans for 2019; from establishing an endowment fund, expanding scholarship opportunities for deserving students, offering education-based workshops, and continuing to partner with local schools and non-profit organizations. We enter this New Year with determination, optimism and gratitude for all that we’ve accomplished together thus far. Thank you for joining us on our journey and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store.
