Help a classroom in support of Start the school year with kindness

I am proud to work with Born This Way Foundation to fully fund the classroom project needs in Dayton, OH, El Paso, TX, and Gilroy, CA . Through our partnership with DonorsChoose.org, 14 classrooms in Dayton, 125 classrooms in El Paso, and 22 classrooms in Gilroy will now have access to the support they need to inspire their students to build a kinder, braver world. I invite you to join me and help ensure young people start the school year with kindness. Please give with me to support teachers as they bring their students dreams to life. Each contribution counts.
