Welcome to the heart of Boosting Spirits! This page is where we keep our community connected and inspired. Here, you’ll find our Future Goals, where we share the exciting milestones, we’re working toward. Also, don’t miss our Community Partnerships slides, which highlights the organizations that make this mission possible.
Future Goals
When Boosting Spirits first began, we created 60 bags annually with the help of a single 5th grade class. Since then, the project has grown to produce 100 bags each year, now involving the entire 5th grade at Baldwin Elementary along with support from numerous community organizations. This growth has been fueled by a constant drive to improve—and we’re not stopping here.
By 2029, our goal is to double our annual donation to 200 quality Boo Bags for children in hospitals. But growth isn’t just about numbers. To sustain the organization for years to come, we’re also building a base of long-term volunteers who can carry the mission forward after our founder and president, Avery Arlinghaus, graduates' high school.
If you’re interested in helping us spread joy, kindness, and creativity, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out through our Contact page to get involved.
Baldwin Elementary's 5th grade class
Since its founding Baldwin Elementary's 5th grade has been there. Starting with one class and growing to the whole grade it's now a sort of tradition at the school.
