We are thrilled to support the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast as they bring the Girl Scout Promise Program to our community. This outreach model is reaching girls who often lack access to vital community resources. The program inspires girls to explore new horizons and gain practical skills. The team visits community centers, schools, and local events, offering targeted programming to ignite curiosity and foster learning. In these photos, you can see girls at Knapp Elementary learning how to make energy-boosting snacks as part of a curriculum focused on life skills. After creating their snacks, the girls had the fun of taste-testing their delicious creations! We're proud to support initiatives that empower our youth and enrich our community.

Join us in congratulating Grant, a beloved alpaca at the Eco-Justice Center, who turned 20 yesterday! 🎂🎉 Alpacas typically live for 15-20 years, making Grant the elder statesman of the herd. When you visit Eco-J, be sure to look for Grant - he's easy to spot with his light brown fur and striking blue eyes.

💜 At BeLEAF's 2024 Healing Lights: Giving Hope event, Christina Trinidad shared her powerful journey from victim to survivor to thriver. After enduring sexual abuse in her youth, Christina received care from Ascension All Saints Sexual Assault Treatment Center and found restorative support from BeLEAF's advocates and therapist. Now, she advocates for other survivors, co-facilitates a peer-support group, and serves on BeLEAF’s board, using her voice to inspire hope and healing. We are inspired by Christina’s strength and so proud to support BeLEAF's vital work.

🎨 Thriving Thursday at John 23 Educational Center was a colorful success! The RACINE ART GUILD INC joined the students to teach the art of watercolors. This collaboration allowed students to create beautiful projects to enjoy or gift to loved ones. Along with art, the day was filled with expanding vocabulary and sharpening spelling skills through a fun game of Scrabble Frenzy. We’re so proud to support this great collaboration benefitting our youth, thanks to the generous support of our donors. Huge thanks to Racine Art Guild for making this possible! 🌟
