In April, the denim day funds were earmarked for autism awareness and a donation was made locally to the University of Houston Clear Lake Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities.
Summer represents a difficult time for food banks so our denim day funds go to the food banks. They can use the funds to buy in bulk and create an amazing number of meals. For example, we presented $500 to the Galveston County Food Bank which will supplement up to 2,000 meals.
In October of each year, the denim day funds go to support the Pasadena ISD Komen team.
Each year we participate in the Pasadena Police Department toy drive by purchasing new toys. We also donate money to toy drives in League City and Pearland.
