Why Ronald supports Wave-Makers

As a longtime member of the Making Waves Foundation board, it’s been hugely rewarding to  witness firsthand the positive impact this extraordinary organization is making each year in the East Bay as it actively supports hundreds of students – mainly people of color and from underserved families – as they progress through college to graduate nearly debt-free and then begin graduate school or pursue employment opportunities aligned with their chosen career paths. It’s a worthy role model for college access and success programs across the U.S.
