“We are excited to partner with Excellence & Ambition INC through the George E. Mitchell Fellowship Grant,” said Yolanda Jiggetts, CEO of Park Heights Renaissance. “Not only does this organization’s work embody Mr. Mitchell’s passion for empowering and preparing our youth, our partnership with Excellence & Ambition INC will help PHR meet several of our measurable goals in areas such as business development, workforce and career development.”
The George E. Mitchell Fellowship Grant, named in honor of a beloved community activist, social entrepreneur and staunch advocate for youth empowerment is meant to help organizations build operational capacity and scale their organizations. Jiggetts points out, “This year’s grant is much larger than it has been in previous years. We have learned that in order to make a real impact on the growth of an organization, there needs to be significant investment of both capital investment and support services. We are confident that grantees will benefit from this multi-faceted approach.”
Excellence & Ambition INC will be recognized as this year’s grant recipient prior to the running of The George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (GII) on May 17, 2024, at Pimlico Race Course and will join members of the Mitchell family, leaders from Park Heights, and Baltimore City and State officials to present the trophy to the winning connections of the 100th running of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes.
