On August 27, 2013, Bridges was honored to hold the graduation for the third “Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin’ by World” class! The graduation took place at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, with 13 graduating participants. The Getting Ahead classes are a component of the Starkville Bridges initiative, and they focus on learning the causes of poverty, the hidden rules of the middle-class, and how to build resources for individuals in low-income situations. Each week, participants met for 2.5 hours to accomplish these objectives.

An annual fundraiser held at the Hunter Henry Center in Starkville, MS. All proceeds went to fund the Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin’ by World (Getting Ahead) class along with various Starkville Bridges community trainings. This event featured a five-course meal provided by Bridgett Harding from Harding Catering, a silent auction and music by the Sumic Trio, a string-instrument group.
To get a feel for the event’s atmosphere, please reference the Starkville Bridges Summer Soiree picture album in the Photo Gallery section of this website.
