Roger Summers: A Journey of Dedication
"I grew up in a small town where opportunities were scarce. My parents worked three jobs just to keep me in school. That experience taught me the value of education as a lifeline. When I started SUMMERS CHARITY FUND, my goal was simple: to be the support system I wish I had when I was a kid."
Under Roger's leadership, the fund has grown from a local initiative to a multi-faceted organization providing scholarships, tech resources, and mentorship to hundreds of students across Delaware and beyond.
Strategic Goals (2026-2029)
Scholarship Expansion
Provide full tuition scholarships to 100 local students by 2028.
Mentorship Network
Establish a community mentorship program with 50 active professional volunteers.
Resource Kits
Distribute 500 "Success Kits" annually, containing laptops and advanced learning tools.
Our Operational Structure
Led by Roger Summers, we are supported by a Program Director, a Fundraising Coordinator, and a Volunteer Manager. We prioritize transparency and accountability in all our operations.
