How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Ruby is already fundraising for her school trip to Washington, D.C., by selling cookies and bracelets and babysitting. This award would help her reach that goal so she can experience history and government up close. It would also let her attend theater camp and other summer camps to grow her creative and performing side, plus subscribe to Mark Rober’s monthly science boxes that she’s so excited about! The rest would go into a savings account for her future education.
