Fifth grade students at Leoma Elementary School made a notable contribution to The Butterfly Foundation on Thursday, February 14, 2026. They presented a donation of over $700, raised through a coin drive and a “hat day” fundraiser.
This donation event coincided with the celebration of the students’ one-thousandth day of school. The fundraising efforts were part of a larger initiative aimed at supporting families with ill children, which aligns with The Butterfly Foundation’s mission.
Founded in 2007, The Butterfly Foundation has provided more than $1.5 million in funding to assist families facing medical challenges. The foundation seeks to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with caring for sick children, offering vital support during challenging times.
The students’ efforts demonstrate a commitment to community service and empathy for those in need. By organizing the coin drive and the hat day, they not only celebrated their educational milestone but also contributed to a cause that affects many families.
The donation ceremony at Leoma Elementary School underscored the significance of student involvement in charitable activities. Engaging in fundraising fosters a sense of responsibility and community awareness among the students.
As the school year progresses, the students are expected to continue participating in similar initiatives, reinforcing their dedication to helping others. The Butterfly Foundation appreciates the support from the students and looks forward to future collaborations.
This event serves as a reminder of the positive impact that young individuals can have on their communities through acts of kindness and generosity.
