Aspire
The Spirit of the Giving Heart
Aspire, a symbol of generosity and compassion, was inspired by the founder’s spouse, a devoted kindergarten teacher, and her close-knit circle of lifelong friends who shared her calling to teach. These women exemplified kindness and selfless service as they nurtured young minds, becoming the essence of Aspire to Give Academy. From this inspiration, Aspire emerged as the Academy’s avatar of the giving heart, depicted in various poses throughout our programs. Each depiction encourages embracing generosity in navigating life’s transitions in pursuit of purpose. In our blog and storytelling, Aspire shares reflections and wisdom from our community, reminding us that giving starts in the heart, often sparked by those who teach with love.
