We’re so proud to say that our Austin Future Leaders & Inventors school age children raised $2,134 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Austin and Central Texas!

Additionally, our newest Stepping Stone School in College Station earned $415 that they donated to Scotty’s House, a College Station charity that provides services to families in crisis.

These philanthropic entrepreneurs spent part of their summer creating and executing business plans that taught them myriad lessons about teamwork, planning, managing, money and more.

One of our students’ favorite aspects of this annual summer-long project is when they get to use the money they earned to help other children and families in need.

We applaud these young philanthropists!
