Over the past nine years, Brandy and Zach have supported several youth sports programs, local academic scholarships, and public school facilities across Chicago. Through these experiences, they have seen first-hand how sports, the arts, and other inclusive activities enhance and enrich a child's life, thus motivating students to achieve academic excellence and increasing their future opportunities. 

After their own high school application process, they learned that many bright, active students are denied the education they want because their families cannot meet the financial requirements. Zach and Brandy were determined to provide tuition support for students who wanted to further their academic and co-curricular goals. With the rising cost of education, too many families are not able to afford the tuition required for their educational institution of choice. All students deserve the opportunity to attend the schools that will best help them reach their long-term goals, with this in mind, Wingspan Scholars was created to allow students to spread their wings and build their self-confidence to find success.
