ELF Presents $115,000 Gift of Innovation
Together with our donors, ELF reached the goal of raising $115,000 for STEM. The HKMS Engineering and Innovation Lab will be a reality this September. Over the next five years, over 2,000 Easton students will benefit from STEM learning in this lab. Thank you, donors!
Foundation Gains New Support
Since ELF announced the STEM initiative in September 2009, support for ELF has grown. Many parents, residents and corporations share the concern that our country no longer leads the way in producing the innovative minds needed to compete in the global economy. There is a sense of responsibility to do better for our students, and many are turning to ELF to make an impact. We hope to earn your continued support as we move forward to fund future grants. Donations are continuously accepted throughout the year.
How can you help?
The foundation is looking for volunteers to help with the following opportunities:
- Help students participate in science fairs

- Can’t volunteer? Don’t worry - you can donate to ELF. Donations are vital to the Foundation’s success and it’s an efficient and productive way to help.
Contact ELF if you’d like to help. Please come to our next board meeting July 7th at 8:00 PM at the Easton Senior Center. It’s open to the public.
