Girlz 4 Gearz Auto Club 1st Annual Dragster Racing Competition
Funded Mar 26, 2025You are absolutely fantabulous each and every one of you! Your commitment to the advancement of Science, Enginnering, and Math for our young scholars is exactly what our educational system and our world needs now! Without you, it would continue to be a challenge for educators to properly prepare the next generation of scientists, engineers, mathmeticians, developers, and architects for global competition.
You are what keeps us in the fight to provide better and higher level education for anyone who wants to learn! You are appreciated, respected and loved. Thank you! God Bless you!”

Girlz 4 Gearz (G4G) Auto Club
Funded Oct 17, 2024It has been an absolute honor working with you all on this project. Our scholars had a sheer look of bewilderment and joy in seeing all the awesome resources and equipment you all provided them for the year. This project is important to me because as a Mechanical Engineering graduate, I was still perceived as not being 'knowledgeable' in auto mechanics because I am a female. I'm not making any political statements here, I'm simply sharing my experiences.
I share with my students my experiences dealing with auto mechanics. Fraudulent and dishonest mechanics who attempted to overcharge me by $1600 thinking I didn't know the difference between a spark plug and an exhaust manifold. Unfortunately for him, he was embarrassed to know I was knowledgeable and had to correct him in front of his manager. He was immediately reprimanded for misleading me. This was the moment Girlz 4 Gearz Auto Club came to life.
These gifts has truly made a noticeable impact on the level of interest in learning auto mechanics among current members, as well as, creating interest with new members thus increasing our numbers. We started with 4 students, after DC, we now have 18 signed up. Their eyes sparkled and their curiosity continues to grow. More importantly, they can't wait to start using the equipment! Even students who do not like to stay afterschool stayed for auto club. DC, you are truly a heaven sent blessing and pray you forever continue to change students' lives! Bless you all and Thanks again!”
