Stock the Cellars. One Mission, Limitless Potential.

College For Kids is excited to announce that U.S. Bank Private Wealth Management's 6th Annual Stock the Cellars, presented by Florida Crystals, returns to the Sailfish Club Palm Beach on Friday, November 6, 2026, for an evening of jazz, community, auction, and support for local students on their path to education. 🥂🎷

By supporting Stock the Cellars, you are supporting local students in our underserved Palm Beach community who have dreams of college or trade school and who cannot do it without your help. Funds raised through this event provide two-year college and vocational scholarships for these students, as well as mentoring, academic guidance, and career opportunities that prepare them for success in college, the skilled trades, and their eventual careers.

College For Kids would like to give a HUGE thank you to our supporters and community partners for helping us open doors, create opportunities, and build brighter futures for our students.

See you Friday, November 6, 2026, at 6:00 PM with Master Sommelier Virginia Philip.

Great conversations lead to great opportunities for our students!

We loved sitting down with Peter Ricci, Director of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida Atlantic University, to talk about ways we might work together and create new opportunities for
College for Kids students.

Peter brings so much experience in the hospitality industry, but what really stood out was his
passion for working with students and helping them explore what’s possible.

Great conversation, great collaboration, and excited to see where this can go!

A big thank you to Palm Beach County Deputy Engineer Joanne Keller and Olive Bailey Assistant Director, for hosting For Kids in a behind-the-scenes visit at the Palm Beach County Engineering & Public Works facility!

Our Director of Strategic Giving, Patricia Poldo, and Executive Director, Danielle Oldham, had the opportunity to go “backstage” and learn more about the incredible amount of work that happens every day to keep Palm Beach County moving.

The visit also allowed us to share more about College for Kids and our TradeUp program, as we continue to build partnerships that expose our students to career pathways, skilled trades, and opportunities right here in our own community.

Experiences like this help us connect the dots between education, local industry, and the many career possibilities available to our students. We’re grateful for the time, conversation, and opportunity to learn from the Palm Beach County team!

On April 21, TradeUp hit a major milestone with our very first New Student Orientation, welcoming 11 new students into the program! 🎉

It was a night full of energy, pride, and support, with students and their families coming together to mark the beginning of this journey. Hearing from our founder, Jeff Firestone, and Susan about how TradeUp began set the tone for what’s ahead and the impact we’re building together. ✨

We’re proud of this first group and excited to see where this path takes them. And we’re just getting started, we’re still looking for 9th–11th grade students in Palm Beach County to join the program. If you know a student who would benefit, 📩 reach out to Zana Sledge at [email protected]
or call 561-206-4034

Thank you to our sponsors, Peter H. Kamin Family Foundation and William R. Kenan Charitable Trust, for making this possible!

Introducing TradeUp - a Career & Trades Readiness Program collaboration with the goal of broadening postsecondary pathways for underserved students in Palm Beach County! By blending Take Stock in Children Palm Beach County's merit-based scholarships and mentoring with College for Kids’ trade-focused exploration, the program proactively expands opportunities beyond the traditional four- year college track.

🎓🛠🤝 It combines structured mentoring, individualized college guidance, career exploration in trades, and credential attainment to ensure students - from middle school through postsecondary transition—are prepared for success in either higher education or skilled trades.
