Last week of fundraising!

April 22, 2018

We only have a few days left in our fundraising campaign! We want to thank all of you and appreciate all the support form every one of you.

 

Currently, we've reached 71% of our goal and we have until Wednesday April 25th to reach our goal! Please share our fundraising page on social media, talk to friends, family, faculty, and staff! 

 

Reaching our goal is incredible important to expanding these science and coding outreach programs to more kids in the Austin community. We will also be able to create more exciting experiments, expand the robotics projects, and invest more in the kids. Please consider sharing this to friends and family so that others can see the passion our members have for these programs.

 

Tip: A simple, free, and quick way to contribute to our cause is through DataDoesGood. This company donates $10 to our Hornraiser for every person that anonymously shares their Amazon shopping history! This is completely free, safe, secure, and again, anonymous, so if you are unable to contribute monetarily, please consider supporting through this method. Here are the steps to take:

One week in---three to go!

April 03, 2018

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated already; every amount, no matter how large, helps us greatly and we are truly grateful for all the support we have received thus far.

 

We currently have raised 9% of our $3000--this means we still have a while to go! Our team is invested in this campaign because we believe that the money we receive will make a tangible difference. If this amount is raised, we can expand these programs to other schools in the Austin area and continue to expand the scope and scale of the projects we put on. Please consider sharing this to friends and family so that others can see the passion our members have for these programs.

 

Also, we are excited to announce our partnership with Data does Good, a company that donates $10 to our Hornraiser for every person that anonymously shares their Amazon shopping history!
