Once again in 2026, NASFAA is bringing back our popular Charity 5K and Trivia Night events to benefit our conference charity partner, First Generation College Bound.
FGCB is a grassroots, private non-profit celebrating over 35 years of college success. Based in Prince George's County, Maryland, the organization has remained committed to investing in the development, growth, and wellness of children in relation to higher education. FGCB offers youth and their families a “pipeline” of educational interventions, comprising academic readiness, supportive services, and guidance, to help them achieve high school graduation, college admissions, and earn a post-secondary degree. The FGCB College Access Program currently provides services to over 600 low-to-moderate income students annually, with the goal for them to attend and graduate from college with little to no debt. FGCB currently has 3,435 students who have gone to college, 2,119 students currently pursuing college degrees, 1,139 students who have earned Higher Education Achievements, and 42 students who have pursued Military service.
