This year, limited funding impacted our ability to fully operate our free BACE Summer STEAM Program at the level our youth deserve. Community support can help us continue building educational, cultural, wellness, arts, and enrichment opportunities for children and families.

We welcome donations, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners who believe in investing in youth, culture, education, and community care.
