What an incredible surprise Fun Friday! 💙💚
A huge THANK YOU to VOLORIDGE for their incredibly generous $21,000 donation to the Edna W. Runner Education Center!
Their team didn’t just stop by to present this amazing gift — they spent time with our students, played fun games, laughed with them, enjoyed Sunset Slush, and helped make the afternoon truly special. Our students had an absolute blast!
As we move through this fiscal year, support like this is more important than ever. Every donation allows us to continue strengthening our programs, supporting our students and families, and making an even greater impact throughout our community.
We are so grateful to have community partners like Voloridge who believe in our mission and invest in the work we are doing every single day.
Thank you, Voloridge, for believing in our students, supporting the Center, and surprising us with a gift that will make a tremendous difference! ❤️

🎉📚 A HISTORIC FIRST DAY! 📚🎉
Today is more than just the first day of school. It is the FIRST DAY of the Edna W. Runner School! 💚💜
After months of planning, preparation, hard work, and prayer, our doors officially opened today to welcome our very first students.
For 40 years, the Edna W. Runner Education Center has served children and families in our community, and today we begin an exciting new chapter in that legacy.
We are incredibly proud of our students, teachers, staff, families, Board of Directors, donors, and community partners who helped make this vision a reality.
Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, opportunity, and excellence!
Happy First Day of School from the Edna W. Runner School! 🎒✏️🍎

What an incredible day at the Edna W. Runner Education Center!
A heartfelt thank you to Signature Barber Academy, the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County , Velocity Community Credit Union, Palm Beach County Office of Community Revitalization, the PBSO - Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, and every volunteer and community partner who helped make our Annual Back to School Bash such a success.
Because of your generosity and support, we were able to provide more than 250 backpacks filled with school supplies to local students as they prepare for a new school year. Seeing the smiles on our children’s faces and the excitement from families reminds us what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose.
To everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported this event, thank you for investing in our students and helping them start the school year with confidence. We are grateful to have such an amazing community standing beside us.
Together, we are making a difference, one student at a time. 💙💚📚🎒
Congratulations to Miss Felder on the ribbon-cutting ceremony for her new Habitat for Humanity home! 🎉🏡
Today is a reminder of why we do this work.
We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our Edna Runner Education Center families as they received the keys to their new home through Habitat for Humanity.
Homeownership is more than just a house. It represents stability, hope, opportunity, and a brighter future. We are honored to walk alongside families as they work toward their goals, and today we celebrate this incredible milestone with them.
Congratulations on this well deserved achievement. Your Edna Runner family is cheering you on, and we cannot wait to see all that the future holds.
Healthy families build stronger communities. 💚
Thank you to Palm Beach County Office of Community Revitalization for providing healthy food options to the families at the Edna W. Runner Education Center. Your generosity is helping nourish our community and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
