A huge thank you to the Panda Cares Foundation for their generous support of our Project Learn educational activities! Because of these grant funds, our Members have been able to explore hands-on learning through cooking classes featuring Panda Express sauces, science experiments like hatching praying mantises and raising caterpillars, gardening clubs focused on farm-to-table learning and pollinator gardens, and exciting STEM projects including solar ovens, film canister rockets, and creative DIY STEM activities woven into our art and textiles programs. Your support is helping our youth learn, create, and grow every day!

A huge shoutout to Hart’s Nursery for being such a long-time supporter of our Club!

This video gives a behind-the-scenes look at the care, time, and dedication that goes into bringing each plant and flower to life, from start to finish. It’s amazing to see the process and passion that makes their work so special!

Year after year, they help bring our auction to life with their incredible flowers! We are so grateful for their continued generosity and partnership.

As we celebrate 60 years, we’re proud of the staff

As we celebrate 60 years, we’re proud of the staff and volunteers who’ve poured their hearts into our Club, like McKena.

In 2018, I was teaching 1st grade at Waverly Elementary when I first connected with the Club through its early partnership with the school. I joined the Ambassador Board just to represent Waverly, never imagining where that step would lead.

In the summer of 2020, I started part-time to help with events, and within a couple weeks, I knew the Club was where I wanted to be. Lucky for me, in August I was given the opportunity to stay full-time.

Fast forward nearly six years, and now I get to help lead a team bringing in resources and funding that make our work possible. What started as a job for fun, quickly became a passion. A passion rooted in the belief that every child needs opportunities to succeed, a safe place to belong, and someone who believes in them. I deeply believe in the work we do, and even though I’m no longer in the classroom with the kids, everything I do is still for them and that’s what makes it so meaningful. 💙
