All proceeds from this fundraiser go to the Helena Eugenio Westrate Foundation, which provides essential school supplies to children across 25 barangays (districts) in Santa Ignacia, Philippines, our family’s hometown.

Each year, the foundation distributes notebooks, pencils, and other classroom essentials to hundreds of students, helping ensure every child has the tools they need to learn, dream, and thrive.

This work is deeply personal and special to us. It’s our way of honoring Helena Eugenio Westrate - a loving mother, nurse, devoted runner, baker, and lifelong believer in the power of education and community aid.
