The organization hosts Parent Night Fundraisers for local charities, schools, and civic organizations, and its face-painters and balloon artists participate in local festivals, school carnivals, art shows, and fundraising events. Employees take part in the United Way campaign, volunteer in local schools, and serve on boards of local non-profit organizations, and students raise money and contribute to charities such as local Humane Societies, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Wolfson’s Children’s Hospital, UNICEF, and the Red Cross, and organize canned food drives, book drives, and teddy bear collections.
