Dear StepUp Durham Supporters,

Thank you for making IMPACT25 an unforgettable evening! Whether you attended, donated, sponsored, or helped spread the word—your support means the world to us.

As we reflect on the event, we’re inspired by the energy and generosity shared. However, we still have $27,000 left to raise to meet our $150,000 goal. Can you help us cross the finish line?

Your tax-deductible gift will directly support Durham job seekers facing challenges to employment. At StepUp Durham, we provide opportunities, access to essential resources, and holistic support that empower individuals to enhance their lives, build sustainable employment, and foster personal and community growth.

Donate today and be a part of creating stability and transformation for your neighbors in Durham.

Shining Lights

Shana Tucker

Hints of acoustic pop soulful folk, infused with strong undertones of jazz illuminate the ChamberSoul™ songstories woven by cellist/singer-songwriter SHANA TUCKER. Touted by JazzTimes Magazine as “a jazz talent...whose imprint and vitality has already been quite visible...” Shana’s style and sound have been described as a curious mash-up of Joni Mitchell, Dianne Reeves, Ella Fitzgerald and Tracy Chapman, with an efficient complexity of songwriting reminiscent of Bill Withers. -- shanatucker.com
