Our client of six years, the HEB ISD Education Foundation, enjoyed a 50% increase in participation in the semester-end/holiday parent outreach and awareness program. This initiative encourages parents and others in our community, like Adopt-a-School companies, to give financial gifts to the education foundation in honor of their teachers and other beloved educators instead of the usual candy or candle. The educators still get a treat - a yummy, customized cookie for the students to deliver, in addition to a tribute page they’ve helped design.
