Passport to Purpose: An Evening of Community, Connection, and Impact

On July 2, 2026, S.O.A.R. Hospitality & Travel YLC, Inc. proudly hosted its annual Passport to Purpose: A Fundraising Mixer, an evening dedicated to bringing together community members, supporters, partners, and friends in support of our mission.

The event was held to raise funds for our scholars' upcoming International Internship in the Dominican Republic, providing them with a life-changing opportunity to gain global exposure, hands-on learning, cultural experiences, and professional development in the hospitality and tourism industry.

We are sincerely grateful to everyone who attended, contributed, and invested in the future of our scholars. Whether you joined us in person or supported us through generous donations, your encouragement and generosity are helping make these international opportunities possible.

One of the evening's most inspiring moments was watching our scholars confidently share their personal stories, aspirations, and dreams with guests. Surrounded by family members, friends, mentors, community leaders, and supporters, they experienced firsthand the encouragement and belief that fuel their journey toward success.

Events like Passport to Purpose remind us that empowering young people is truly a community effort. Every conversation, every connection, and every contribution brings our scholars one step closer to achieving their goals.

From the entire SOAR family, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us empower the next generation of leaders. Together, we are creating opportunities that will have a lasting impact for years to come.
