Lacoste, of tiny green crocodile fame, was an early supporter of this program. Hopefully many more will follow.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img class=&quot;alignleft&quot; title=&quot;The High Line&quot; src=&quot;http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110109151100im_\/http:\/\/user.cloudfront.goodinc.com\/community\/etling\/highline-0976trghjk.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;134&quot; height=&quot;130&quot; \/>The High Line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New York City\u2019s newest park received enormous attention for years before it even opened. Boasting a coterie of celebrity backers, the converted elevated rail line became one of the most celebrated and anticipated public projects in recent memory. The interaction with the city and the transformation of blighted infrastructure into beautiful park is an impressive accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img class=&quot;alignleft&quot; title=&quot;KIPP Schools&quot; src=&quot;http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110109151100im_\/http:\/\/user.cloudfront.goodinc.com\/community\/etling\/578-87383-kipp-schools.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;117&quot; height=&quot;36&quot; \/>KIPP\u00a0 Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fewer than one in five students in the nation\u2019s low-income areas will attend college.
