The #BuiltByBLOCS storytelling campaign embodies the BLOCS mission at its core.  Being “Built By BLOCS” is a distinction for more than 16,000 students and families across the greater Philadelphia area – one of opportunity, promise and hope.

Our scholarship recipients have been inspired by their Catholic education to go out and set the world on fire. The tools and experiences they receive in the classroom fuel their desire to graduate, and ultimately become community leaders, business owners, attend college, to start a family, and to spearhead their own campaigns to give back.

To date, BLOCS has showcased nearly 100 students, through storytelling video and blog posts who have overcome incredible adversities to achieve success. Through each story is the underpinning of self-awareness and a genuine heart of gratitude toward the donors who make these students’ dreams a reality.
