Star of the Month
Every student has a story that matters, and this season, A Bridge for Kids and the San Diego Gulls are spotlighting one deserving teen each month as our Star of the Month. Do you know someone whose journey embodies courage, kindness, or hard-earned growth? Now’s the time to help them shine.
Why We Celebrate Stars
“From Potential to Possibility” isn’t just our tagline, it’s a mission. Each month, in partnership with the San Diego Gulls, we honor one student in San Diego County who’s gone above and beyond. Whether that’s through rising grades, mentoring peers, supporting their family, volunteering, or overcoming personal challenges.
Winners receive a $1,000 sponsorship, are honored live at a San Diego Gulls game, and earn those lifelong bragging rights.
Who Can Shine?
We’re looking for “everyday heroes”:
Students who raised their GPA while juggling work
Teens supporting siblings or peers through tough times
Mentors, volunteers, leaders, and supporters of community or school
Youth who’ve found the courage to grow and lead with empathy
No award hardware required—just a genuine story of resilience, compassion, or leadership.
