The event raises funds for the Parenting for the Present Foundation, formed in 2020 to provide mental health and educational services to underserved areas in North Texas. Proceeds support the foundation’s clinical and educational programs, including crisis response work that provided more than 150 hours of direct and indirect clinical support after recent floods in Central Texas.
Funds also support ongoing collaborations with The King’s Academy and St. Philip’s School and Community Center in South Dallas. Services provided there include psychoeducational evaluations, therapeutic services, and teacher training, which have led to targeted classroom and home interventions. Many supported cases involve learning challenges, trauma, and difficult living conditions. The foundation also maintains the Parenting for the Present Podcast, which offers freely accessible parenting and mental health guidance.
