All Set for Studies: Back to School Fun
All Set for Studies Back to School Bash is our first back to school event, and we plan to start grand! It is our goal to make an impact on the community that made an impact on us. The All Set for Studies Back to School Bash started because we decided the best way to prepare for school is to unite people. School can be mentally challenging and draining, but through unity, we plan to lift that weight off of students. From giving living essentials, to giving stress relief techniques, to giving books, we plan to give everyone in our community something! Our goal for this year is to have scholars All Set for Studies!
We have come a long way, but we would still greatly benefit from your support. Your generous contribution will help us successfully extend our mission.

All Set for Studies: Car Wash Fundraiser
All Set for Studies; Car Wash Fundraiser was our FIRST physical fundraiser! We had tons of fun in the sun working hard for the funds! We had children as young as 13-years-old dedicating time aside to help raise money for a great cause. Having a physical fundraiser that required labor made us feel a sense of purpose within our community. As previously stated, this was our first ever physical labor fundraiser and we are happy to say that there would be many more in the future! By raising nearly $100, having a ton of fun, feeling a sense of purpose, and forming relationships with people in our community, we are happy to say that the All Set for Studies: Car Wash Fundraiser was a success!

Care Packages for Foster Kids
The Foster Care System is a very important system within the government that many people overlook! Foster kids are given nothing but a trash bag to put their belongings in which is dehumanizing. Rob Scheer, a former foster kid who grew up to father foster kids, hosted a TedTalk about how Foster children's dignity is impacted by living out of a trash bag! It is our goal to gather bags for foster children to carry their prized possessions in as well as necessities everyone needs! The primary focus of our drive is bags. Bags such as tote bags, bookbags, duffle bags, etc. are well needed! Take a look at our Amazon wish list to see what to donate! Click the link to donate monetary visit this link!
