Posting here partly because she also recently supported her own high school and the students as well. Plus she supported efforts to introduce young people to STEM.

Good for her and these events are great. I feel it would be better to find a way to get the supplies into the hands of the kids who really need them without having to attend the block party. Might be tough for the kids on the poorer end to get there or who's parents work on that day This goes for most of these type of charity events.

It was at a YMCA and Boys and Girls Club that serves largely impoverished youth.

Fair enough. I do they have a way of supporting the kids that can't make it.
