Help Support Our Cause

We can't do this alone. It takes lots of help from people like you to make sure our students and teachers are getting the supplies they need for a successful school year. Below are a few ways you can help us reach our goal.
Sign up to help at one of our upcoming events (below) or do something on your own! See some of the amazing students below who did book drives for us!
We had our Cocktails for a Cause Fundraiser on March 19th but check back soon for our next great event!
