Sponsor our Butterflies & Dragonflies​
One of our core goals at the Butterfly Effect Project is to ensure that every child, regardless of their family’s financial situation, has the opportunity to attend and fully participate in all of our events and programs. As we continue to expand, so do our expenses, and we are committed to keeping BEP accessible to all.
​
Currently, we ask for a $25 yearly enrollment fee, but the true cost to provide each child with the full BEP experience—including mentorship, workshops, field trips, and resources—is $477.95 per year.
​
Donations will help offset enrollment fees and directly fund our meetings and events, allowing us to continue providing meaningful opportunities for our Butterflies. Your generosity ensures the success of our program, and you can be confident that every contribution will make a lasting impact!​​

Michael’s Smile: The Bus That Carries Dreams
What began as a dream became a movement — thanks to the incredible generosity of the First Baptist Church, Nancy Reyer of Michael’s Smile, and Fisher Signs & Shirts. Together, they made it possible for our Butterflies and Dragonflies to have their very own bus — a vehicle that carries opportunity, hope, and countless memories.
​​
Because of Michael’s Smile, our youth can explore colleges, volunteer in new communities, and experience life beyond their neighborhoods — all while feeling safe, supported, and inspired.
Now, you can help us keep that dream in motion. Every dollar goes directly toward maintaining and expanding access to our life-changing trips:
• $500 — Helps fuel local trips and experiences
• $1,000 — Supports travel for out-of-state college tours
• $2,500 — Covers annual maintenance to keep the bus safe and ready
• $5,000 — Powers multiple trips across the region
• $10,000 — Fully operates Michael’s Smile for the year, ensuring every child has access to the opportunities that help them dream, grow, and soar
​
Your support keeps Michael’s Smile rolling — one mile, one child, and one dream at a time.
Snacks That Fuel Smiles​
With 35 chapters across the East End, you can imagine how quickly snack time adds up! At BEP, we believe in offering our youth snacks they love — ones that keep them energized, happy, and ready to learn.
​
You can help us make that happen:
• $250 provides snacks for one chapter for 3 months
• $600 keeps a chapter stocked with snacks for the entire year
​
Every bite matters — because when our Butterflies and Dragonflies feel cared for, they soar even higher.
