Special Events at Horizons-Upward Bound!
This year has been filled with exciting events including the inaugural Leaders Who Care event. Sponsored by the Detroit College Promise and Horizons-Upward Bound, was held on Saturday May 4, 2013 in Lerchen Hall. The goal of this event was to motivate students to make education a priority. Over 50 leaders within the community were on hand to share their stories, give advice, and make a connection with HUB students as well as other youth in the community.
On March 23, 2013 The Motor City Doll Club (MCDC) held a luncheon fundraiser at Pi Banquet Hall in Southfield on behalf of HUB. Each attendee was presented with either a Ellowyne or Lizette doll, designed by world-renowned artisan Robert Tonner. Tonner also gave a special presentation on the design process, the doll characters' story lines and his own collection selected for exhibition at FAO Schwartz in New York City.
Horizons-Upward Bound held its annual commencement for the Class of 2013 on Saturday, May 18, 2013 in the Performing Arts Center. Horizons-Upward Bound staff, past and present, would like to congratulate all the seniors for their achievements. We'd also like to encourage all the students to strive for excellence in their future endeavors and plans.
