We are proud to support Life Science Cares San Diego to help disrupt the cycle of poverty and inequality in the San Diego community. Last month, we welcomed students to Avidity from the Monarch School, the only public community school that exclusively nurtures the development of unhoused students in San Diego. Students had the opportunity to meet with our team to learn more about the #lifesciences industry and the many career opportunities it holds. By partnering with Life Science Cares and supporting the Monarch School and Project Onramp, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the San Diego community and foster the next generation of leaders.

We are excited to share that we’re teaming up with Avidity Biosciences, Inc. again as a part of our ongoing efforts to help break the cycle of poverty and increase community members’ access to education, basic needs, and economic opportunity. The Avidity team is donating $250,000 through our Life Science Shares program to bolster our 2024 grantmaking portfolio and support volunteer programs to reduce the devastating impact of poverty and inequity throughout San Diego. Further demonstrating Avidity’s commitment to our community, they invited San Diego’s Monarch School students to tour Avidity’s lab space, connect with CEO Sarah Boyce, and practice networking with life science professionals. Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to foster educational opportunities and empower the future leaders in our community toward a brighter future.
