W here A rt and S cience M eet CHRISTMAS LAW DONATES $500 TO THE WHITESIDES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COLOR RUN
Sometimes national news headlines make it seem like arts programs and STEM activities are at war, but education doesn’t have to be a battle. Here at Christmas Law Firm, we believe any activity that gets kids learning and keeps them engaged is worth funding, which is why we donated $500 to the Mamie P. Whitesides Elementary School Color Run, an event that brings the arts and the sciences together. Every October, Whitesides Elementary School in Mount Pleasant hosts its annual color run, a bright, festive celebration that lets kids use their creativity while also raising funds for the school’s STEM programs. Each kid who runs is given their own fundraising page and receives sponsorships from friends and family for the contest. Then, 100% of the proceeds from the dash go to STEM programs, the computer lab, math and grade-level interventionists, field trips, and supplies for the kids.
Last year, Whitesides aimed to raise $75,000. Though our $500 gift was just a small contribution, we’re still proud to have helped make a difference in the lives of these children. We’re always looking for ways to give back to the community we serve, and we were happy to find this unique event to support!
If you’d like to learn more about the color run and perhaps contribute to next year’s event, visit CCSDSchools.com. And as always, if you’re facing a legal dilemma and could use a compassionate, experienced attorney by your side, call Christmas Law Firm today at 843-535-8000. We’re here to help.
