Children at The Learning Experience in Old Bridge raised $2,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation during the academy’s fifth annual Nationwide BeCause Our Hearts Beat philanthropic initiative.
The center hosted an auction of heart-themed art created by the students as well as donated items from local businesses to raise awareness and funds for Make-A-Wish.
In addition to raising thousands of dollars for various charities across the country, The Learning Experience Corporate has raised $1.5 million for Make-A-Wish to-date, its partner in creating a unique philanthropy curriculum taught at the academy’s 170 operating locations nationwide.
