This fall, we are focused on empowering more girls to engage in STEM activities and pursue career paths they might not have considered before. Our signature After School program is just one of the ways we’re providing an enriching STEM experience for our Girlstart girls. This fall, please consider making a gift to Girlstart to help more girls experience the wonder of all things STEM. Our goal is to raise $15,000, and thanks to Cirrus Logic, all gifts made up to $2,500 will be matched. Your gift could have double the impact!

North Texas friends, it’s time to roll out for Girlstart! North Texas Giving Day is less than a week away, and we invite you to join us at Holy Rollie Pastry Shop in Irving from open to close on September 19th to enjoy a sweet treat and support Girlstart! $1 from every purchase will go toward our North Texas Giving Day fundraising goal of $10,000, and the best part is that an anonymous donor is matching the first $5,000 in donations! And if that’s not enough, the first 50 lucky customers to stop by Holy Rollie on the 19th will receive a STEM activity kit to make at home (hint: 🪂)! We can’t wait to see you next week as we raise money for Girlstart After School!

In honor of International Day of Charity, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible community! 🫶 Whether you volunteer, donate, serve on a committee or council, or just spread the word about our work, you play a crucial role in our mission, and your support means the world to us.
