As we approach the close of the year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the progress made across the Avenue community and to look ahead to what’s possible next. We have great things in store for 2026, and we’ll need your partnership to make them happen. Exciting announcements are coming soon, so stay tuned to our website and follow along on social media for what’s next.

Thank you for being part of the Fuse Project community and for helping us finish the year strong.

Warmly,

The Fuse Project Family

This year, students at Florence Howard Elementary and Calloway-Smith Middle School showed measurable academic growth, stronger attendance, and increased engagement. Through Fuse Project’s Academic Support Program, SPARK Summer, enrichment opportunities, and community partnerships, we’ve seen firsthand how consistent support and meaningful incentives can move the needle for students and schools alike.

We recently shared a deeper look at this impact, including the latest Alabama State Report Card data and highlights from the year, in our year-end blog. We invite you to read more about how your support is making a difference and why your year-end giving matters.
