ABOUT THE BREAKTHROUGH BENEFIT CONCERT
Each fall, Central Texans come together at the annual Breakthrough Benefit Concert to make a difference for students in our community. Join us on November 9 at 800 Congress to celebrate and support our nearly 3,000 students. Together, we can help pave the way to postsecondary success for Central Texas youth who aspire to realize their fullest potential through the transformative power of a college degree.
This year’s event includes a silent auction, heavy and drinks, a program, and an exclusive concert by 2023's Austin Music Awards Artist of the Year, SirWoman. Additional details will be posted to this page leading up to the event.
HELPING CREATE A PATH TO & THROUGH COLLEGE
Every child should have the opportunity to benefit from the life-changing power of a college degree. However, in Central Texas, only 1 in 4 high school graduates go on to earn a college degree or certificate. For students from under-resourced communities, that number drops to just 1 in 8. That is why Breakthrough makes a long-term commitment, starting as early as 6th grade, to create a path to and through college for students who will be the first in their families to graduate. Breakthrough students, even when compared to students with similar demographics and academic standing, are twice as likely to graduate college as their peers. Learn more about our impact here.
