The G.L.O.W. (Greatness Lives in Our Words) pilot program is a narrative innovation and culturally responsive learning initiative developed by the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation in partnership with StoryCorps’ Brightness in Black. The program was designed to empower middle school students through storytelling, art-making, and critical reflection focused on identity, culture, and community.

In celebration of its 15th anniversary, The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with PHILLIPS for We’re In This Together—a benefit auction spotlighting the intersection of art, culture, and community impact.

The holiday season is a time for joy, togetherness, and giving—and this year’s Holiday Dinner Basket Surprise (HDBS) was a shining example of the power of community and compassion.

We’re filled with gratitude after the incredible 9th Annual Philadelphia Fund Alliance Gala held on November 7, 2024, at the Rittenhouse Hotel! Being chosen as one of this year’s beneficiaries is an honor, and we’re inspired by the generosity of everyone who made this event a success.

This unique partnership is designed to provide 15 JUMP High seniors and their parents with the essential financial skills needed to build wealth and create a secure future.
