Holistic Gift Cards For Our Partner Schools
This year, we chose to give gift cards to our partner schools to distribute to their families. Our goal for giving was to provide families with a method to purchase all the essentials during the Holiday Season, including food, household products, clothing, and gifts for their children.
In partnership with Nike and Jordan Brand, we distributed 225 Target and Walmart Gift Cards to William H. Brown STEM Magnet School, R. Nathaniel Dett Elementary School, and Sherman School of Excellence.
We'd like to thank Nike and Jordan Brand for their most generous contributions for our Holiday giving.

Gifting a Trip to the Giant Dome Theater
Our principals this year specifically asked for more educational experiences for students and their families to go on together. With support from Nike and Jordan Brand, we were able to give 150 Museum of Science & Industry Gift Cards to families at William H. Brown STEM Magnet School, Sherman School of Excellence, and Jordan Community Elementary School.
