We are beyond ecstatic to share the news that our son Beau has been invited to attend the 2026 National Youth Leadership Forum: Explore STEM!

The Envision by WorldStrides program reaches out to students by invite only after a survey that he completed for them with his areas of interest:

Science/Technology

Engineering

Mathematics

Crime Investigation

Emergency Medicine

Beau will be attending Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN for a week in July to hands-on learn particulars in all the areas mentioned above.

We are asking for donations towards his scholar program tuition and fuel costs there and back.

On a personal note, many of you know Beau since he was a little cute bundle of joy, and also know that early elementary and middle school was extremely difficult for him. Since our move 2 years ago, we now have a boy that wakes us up for school, has to be one of the first to arrive, straight A's, night and day turnover. I am a firm believer that school districts do make a difference! We are beyond blessed for all the opportunities and programs offered to him!

Please, if you can donate, we thank you. If you read our little story, I thank you very much for that too!
