This quarter we are donating to: New York Says Thank You, Eating Disorders Information Network, Colfax Community Network, Daisy Project, Camp Twin Lakes, Blessings in a Backpack, Second Wind Fund, and Nana's Children's Home.

Colfax Community Network new STEM space
This year the Colfax Community Network was able to open a new STEM-focused room for community children to learn and grow with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math projects.
"The Stem Lab/Maker Space is officially open as of March 10th [2021]. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was amazing and many people came out to attend including our donors. Thank you to Marketing Research Education Foundation, The Leddy Family Foundation and the 12-21 Fund for their donations that made the space possible for the children and families of the program."
