Investing in young lives transforms futures and strengthens communities. As we approach 40 years of service in 2026, the Edna W. Runner Education Center continues impacting lives, thanks to supporters like you. Your partnership helps us provide the foundation children need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you for supporting our youth. Your gift helps develop critical literacy programs, STEM initiatives, and expanded learning opportunities which inspire students to learn. Music, art, gardening, and trade programs give students hands-on experiences that build confidence and open doors. These programs, alongside core academic support, create opportunities that transform lives and invest in our community's future.

Supporting our Annual Fund keeps Ms. Edna's legacy alive, providing a safe, enriching space for K-8 students and their families. With government funding shrinking, your generosity is crucial.

Here's how your support makes a difference:

• $50 funds a year of classroom supplies for a student
• $1,500 covers nine weeks of summer camp
• $2,750 provides afterschool support for a student throughout the year

We're proud that 91 cents of every dollar goes directly to these programs, ensuring your donation goes far. Will you help us make an even bigger impact?

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we're investing in our future—these children who will lead our community tomorrow.
