Partners and Sponsors

Since its inception in 2006, Western ¾ÅÒ»Â鶹ÖÆƬ³§ University’s CoreKids teaching staff have interacted with over 60,000 of ¾ÅÒ»Â鶹ÖÆƬ³§'s K-12 students and teachers. To do so, the CoreKids K-12 Outreach Program relies on donations from individuals and industry. We thank all our sponsors for their continued support, without which we could not continue this important work.
