For the past ten years, The Academy of Goal Achievers has empowered thousands of young leaders, families, and communities. As a small leadership organization, our impact has grown tremendously, serving over 1,000 students annually.
2026 marks our 10th annual Carry-On Care Package Campaign. This campaign supports graduating high school seniors in Mecklenburg, Union, and Anson counties by gifting seniors at select high schools with a carry-on filled with essentials such as toothbrushes, soap, and towels. The goal of the campaign is to celebrate the seniors’ accomplishments and help ease the financial burden as seniors pursue their post-secondary goals, giving them one less thing to worry about.
We're asking for your help to purchase items for 300 carry-on packages.
A donation to our carry-on care package campaign not only provides essentials to students but also provides ease for students and families. Inflation has affected our campaign, with the cost of one care package increasing by $13. This year, we are calling on our community to close the gap and gift high school seniors with a care package as they pursue their post-secondary plans.
There are a few ways to support:
- Donate directly to our campaign
- In-kind donations: Purchase items in bulk from the list above and donate to fill packages: Email ccoble@taogainc.org to confirm and plan.
We hope that you choose to support The Academy of Goal Achievers 10th annual carry-on care package campaign to support and celebrate graduating high school seniors in the communities we serve.
Thank you for your support!
