Together, we will elevate our community to learn, grow, and thrive. We believe that our greatest opportunity to meet our vision is to elevate and empower our children.
Toyfest
Each year, local low-income and at-risk youth get to play games, meet Santa, and take home a toy. Further, Elevates is committed to providing financial support to meet the needs within the school that are out of reach due to budget but will increase the educational experience for the students.
