Legacy Guides Us, Growth Drives Us Forward

Emcee: Jermane Easterlin
Our Emcee and Palmer Alum: Jermane Easterlin

There are moments when a community comes together in such a powerful way that words almost fall short. Stand Up & Cheer was one of those moments.


Because of you our sponsors, supporters, partners, mentors, alumni, and friends we witnessed something truly special. The energy in the room, the stories shared, and the collective belief in our scholars reminded us exactly why this work matters. But more than that, there was a feeling echoed again and again throughout the night this felt like a family reunion.


From alumni reconnecting and sharing how far they’ve come, to supporters meeting scholars whose lives they’re helping shape, to new faces instantly feeling welcomed in there was a deep sense of belonging in the room. It was a powerful reminder that Palmer Scholars is more than a program. It is a community. It is a family.



We are incredibly grateful for every person who showed up, gave generously, and stood beside our mission. Your support is more than a contribution it is an investment in the brilliance, resilience, and potential of the young people we serve.


Thanks to this community, we are moving forward with renewed momentum and possibility. The impact of this day will extend far beyond a single event it will be felt in classrooms, career pathways, mentorship connections, and the lives of scholars who now have greater access to the futures they envision.


And while we celebrate what we accomplished together, we are even more excited about what lies ahead.


Because this is just the beginning.

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
