We've been in desperate need of an iPad for a long time at BEAT... so a huge thank you to the St. Charles Foundation for generously donating an iPad to BEAT, and to Carlos Salcedo at St. Charles for helping make it happen! We’re so grateful for the support and investment in our students and program. 💙

We also have a few items currently on the BEAT wish list... every donation (used or new) makes a difference! Please take a look :)

• Drill with battery pack
• New indoor/outdoor black rugs (rubber backed)
• Unused craft supplies
• Flat black interior house paint
• 1” blue painter’s tape

Not sure what the odds are of this, but both our beloved BEAT staffers, Bree and Lauren, share the same alma matter, the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma! When the alumni magazine found out, they wrote this fun feature about them and their wonderful work they do at BEAT! 🤩 Go Loggers!!
