Investing in Students to Empower Futures
Terakeet employees founded Cause For The Cuse in 2013 as a way to support children in the Syracuse City School District. Every dollar raised goes towards the educational tools and supplies that students need to succeed.
To date, we’ve raised more than $100,000 to help over 20,000 local students across 30 schools.
