U Matter Project's 2nd Annual Toy Drive

Our Team

Sasha

Outreach Specialist/Founder

"For me, U Matter Project is not only an organization, but a way of life! Growing up I was instilled with the belief that all people are created equal and never understood the harsh reality that some people had so much while others had so little. As an adult I'm still baffled by this worldwide phenomenon and strive to make a difference."

Bianca

Project Manager/Co-Founder

"I experienced my "aha moment" following the passing of my grandmother. I was amazed at how a woman I perceived as being so simple had profoundly impacted so many people's lives. The outpouring of people from all ethnicities, age groups and economic backgrounds to pay homage to my grandmother left such an indelible imprint, that I made a vow to myself to do the same. Through me I hope her legacy of kindness and philanthropy lives on."

Gianna

Volunteer

"I do it not to receive accolades, but simply because it feels goods!"
