Rubin for Kids

Run, don’t walk, to bloombakeshop to order this incredibly delicious Pastrami & Swiss on rye! We are extremely excited to be the first recipient of Bloom’s new Donation Creation.

Bloom will offer the Pastrami & Swiss through March and a new Donation Creation through April and donate all profits from the sandwiches to Rubin for Kids.

We’re thankful to partner with Bloom to continue our mission to celebrate and support the achievements of local youth.

This week, Megan, a school social worker, reminded us that it takes all of us together to make a difference.

Rubin for Kids works closely with school social workers, teachers and other community members to nominate deserving youth for Individual Achievement Awards. These partners play a critical role in the success of our programs.

If you want to learn more about Individual Achievement Awards and their impacts, check out our website. https://www.rubinforkids.org/youth-achievement-awards-1

Thank you to Megan and all our community partners and volunteers -- we couldn't do it without you!

Yesterday we celebrated 30 incredible years of helping kids in Madison at our 30th Annual Rubin for Kids Fundraiser! 💙

From scholarships to small awards, from opportunity to achievement — together, we’ve touched thousands of young lives. Seeing so many friends, donors, nominators, and previous recipients come together reminded us just how powerful this community truly is.

But as much as we’ve accomplished, the need continues to grow — and so must our commitment to supporting the next generation. 🌟

Thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, volunteered, and cheered us on. You are the reason Rubin for Kids can keep making a difference year after year.Here’s to the next 30 years of changing lives! 🙌
