The program identifies at-risk yet motivated middle school students and supports their transition into local college preparatory schools. Breakthrough Miami works to increase high school graduation rates. Currently only 43% of Miami students will graduate high school on time. The Miami chapter has been especially active and successful, boasting the largest site in the nation and a 99% graduation rate from high school for participating students. Despite these impressive achievements, the program is known to very few in the local community. This lack of awareness presents a major issue for Breakthrough Miami because it is a private program that relies on individuals, foundations and corporations for funding to allow their students to attend school tuition-free.

Breakthrough has approached Pumped because of their proven track record and their understanding of the organization’s needs. Carlos F. Peña, Creative Director and President of Pumped said, “Breakthrough Miami has such a phenomenal program that provides opportunities for talented yet underprivileged children who would otherwise fall through the cracks. It is a great honor and responsibility to help position this organization as one of the best programs in Miami. We hope to be providing this support for years to come.”

Pumped is developing a fully integrated campaign that will highlight the program and staff that work tirelessly to assure that all students, regardless of background and means, will have equal access to excellent educational opportunities .The agency’s first step was to design an innovative annual report for the program. The colorful and creative campaign will focus on the real winners in this partnership – the students.
