Rising Stars

About

Living Classrooms Foundation Rising Stars Presented by the Baltimore Business Journal, honors a selected group of young professionals under the age of 40 who are the next generation of Baltimore philanthropists and business leaders. Launched in 2010, the program engages up-and-coming young professionals in the field of philanthropy. Throughout the year, the selected Rising Stars use their professional and social networks, creativity, marketing skills, and business expertise to raise funds for Living Classrooms Foundation’s impactful programs.

Why philanthropy? Philanthropy has the power to advance the quality of life and influence lasting social change. Philanthropy can be viewed as one of the cornerstones of society and can help communities grow stronger.

Each year, the Rising Stars program culminates with an awards celebration taking place in conjunction with Maritime Magic, the best annual benefit on the Baltimore waterfront celebration and supporting the important work of Living Classrooms Foundation.

CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2024!
