EMERGE’s 6th Annual Build The Village Luncheon was a huge success! Nearly 500 guests came together to raise a record-breaking $612,000 in support of our students. This signature event was one to remember as we celebrated EMERGE’s impactful work, honored EMERGE Founder, Dr. Rick Cruz and heard from a remarkable EMERGE student, Jonathan Bush (Victory Early College High School '23), who shared his story of hope and perseverance and announced that he will be attending Northeastern this fall.
