Make Wellness Fun: Donate for Popcorn & Cotton Candy!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help us create a welcoming and fun environment for our students by donating towards a popcorn machine and a cotton candy machine. These treats will make our mental health fairs and wellness activities even more enjoyable, encouraging students to engage and connect with important resources.

Your contribution will bring smiles, reduce stress, and support mental well-being.

Sharing treats encourages social interaction and creates opportunities for students to connect with one another in a casual, friendly setting. This sense of community can enhance the overall effectiveness of mental health initiatives.

Donate today and be a part of fostering a positive and supportive community!
