It is with great regret and sadness that we write you this letter today to inform you of the passing of PACT, Inc.’s co-founder, Dr. Henry Lucas. Early last week, we were informed that he suffered from a massive stroke on May 28. His strong will and determination kept him going for a few days, however, his battle ended early this morning, June 2, 2009. Dr. Lucas is at peace now, and he is survived by his daughter, Dr. Benton and a host of many relatives. 

The family request is that in lieu of flowers please make your heartfelt donations to PACT, Inc.  All proceeds will go toward PACT, Inc.’s scholarship fund.

We would like everyone to take a moment to remember Dr. Lucas, his compassion for PACT, Inc. and our students, and to thank him for helping to build the foundation for this superb organization. We will miss you Dr. Lucas.

OUR MISSION

PACT seeks to be one of the best TRiO Educational Talent Search Programs in the country as measured by the 3,000 students we work with annually and the access to financial resources that we expose to our students.

OUR VISION

To continually increase the number of low-income youth and young adults who enter college or university after high school graduation due to the programs we offer.

 

PACT FACTS

PACT, Inc. has operated an Educational Talent Search Project funded by the U. S. Department of Education since 1965. Not only has the program provided services in the area of post secondary admissions and financial aid counseling for low income students, but it has significantly increased the college going pattern in San Francisco. Since 1965, PACT has placed approximately 36,000 young people in colleges and other post secondary institutions, most with financial assistance.

Approximately 3,000 students benefit from our services annually.

In addition to its services to individuals, PACT has become an integral part of the network of equal access activities in California through its staff involvement in many local and statewide organizations.
