“We are thrilled to host our sixth annual Party on the Green fundraiser in Oxford,” said Zach Scruggs, executive director of 2nd Chance MS. “The support of our corporate and individual sponsors is vital to our mission of providing needed support to hardworking, lower-income adult students across Mississippi. We welcome everyone to join us on September 26th and be a part of making this year’s event the best one yet.”

The goal at 2nd Chance MS is to promote and support adult education and workforce training for lower-income Mississippi adults. They are dedicated to working with Mississippi’s 15 community colleges to create and finance programs that offer essential financial support and eliminate barriers for deserving adult students.

These programs have significantly increased the number of Mississippians equipped with the education and training necessary to secure and maintain a family-sustaining job. To date, they have assisted over 2,000 individuals in continuing their educational journey, helping them overcome barriers and

transition into the workforce, thus breaking the cycle of poverty.
