What chapters showed up for.

Chapter

Arizona

Date

Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Location

Cactus Shadows High School · Cave Creek, AZ

Before a single bell rings, someone has to carry the desks in. On Wednesday, July 22, members of The Future Foundation's Arizona chapter helped teachers at Cactus Shadows High School set up their classrooms for the new year — hauling tables across campus, unstacking chairs, arranging desks, and organizing materials so every room was ready for students on day one. It's the same goal behind everything we do in the Cave Creek Unified School District: give underprivileged kids a better learning experience, starting with the room they walk into.

Boys & Girls Club of Key West · Bayview Park, Key West, FL

Ticonderoga pencils by the dozen. Crayola colored pencils and markers. Composition books, college-ruled filler paper, glue sticks — laid out, counted, and delivered to the Boys & Girls Club of Key West at Bayview Park. Led by Baylin Rodger, this drop puts supplies directly into the hands of kids who'll start the school year ready because someone expected them to show up. It's our second supply drop — which makes it official: this isn't a plan anymore, it's a program.

Location

IMG Academy · Bradenton, FL

Thirty kids. One court. The Bradenton chapter took over a court at IMG Academy — one of the country's most renowned athletic campuses — and turned a day into hands-on tennis coaching with teen mentors working alongside the kids. For kids who'd never held a racket, the question stopped being whether they could hit a ball. It became when they'd be back. The team photo at the end is what mentorship looks like when it's done right — every kid in the frame already knows the name of a teenager who'll come find them next time.

Harold's Cave Creek Corral · Cave Creek, AZ

TFF volunteered at the 17th annual Rock the District — the Cave Creek Unified Education Foundation's benefit concert at Harold's Cave Creek Corral. Title-sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Carefree, the night featured CCUSD student bands, a silent auction, and vendors, with 100% of proceeds funding teacher classroom grants. In partnership with CCUEF, The Future Foundation helped impact 4,000+ students across the Cave Creek Unified School District. CCUEF has awarded over $400,000 in classroom grants since 2008 — funding technology, music, arts, and wellness for nearly every student district-wide.

Chapter

Connecticut

Date

Tuesday, April 28, 2026

Location

Poquonock Elementary School · Windsor, CT

Two visits in, and counting. Our Connecticut chapter has returned to Poquonock Elementary twice now — teen mentors working with elementary students on hands-on science, read-alouds, and tutoring in reading, writing, and math. The Skittles diffusion experiment turned a cafeteria into a lab. Every child leaned in. Every mentor left knowing a name they'll need to remember by the next visit. This is the work: a relationship measured in visits, not photographs.
