Mark Sauer, founder of the Delray Beachbased non-profit Bound For College, teams up with Ted Hoskinson, founder of Roots and Wings, to establish the Hoskinson Fellowship at Bound For College.

“Ted and I are working toward the same goal,” Sauer says of Hoskinson’s $50,000 gift. “Our missions complement each other at opposite ends of the public school spectrum. Ted ensures that under-resourced students attending local elementary schools achieve grade-level literacy while gaining the confidence they need to thrive in school.”

Ted Hoskinson says of his gift, “At Roots and Wings, we are inspiring elementary school students to love reading and then to love learning. To know that this new fellowship at Bound For College will eventually help such students launch successful careers debtfree is the perfect outcome.”

“Once those students reach high school,” Sauer continues, “it is up to Bound For College to take over and support them with ACT/SAT tutoring and the mentorship they need to succeed with college applications and scholarship support. The new Hoskinson Fellowship helps Bound For College take that path further by awarding financial support to some of our college students who struggle financially once they are in college and are successfully pursuing their career goals.

Sauer says, “Ted’s new fellowship has already inspired other donors to join the charge to ensure our graduates achieve their college degrees and career dreams.”
