Empathy Rocks is eight 45 minute lessons, one per month, that teach children about empathy through recent events in the United States. Students learn about what happened, and how empathy helped heal and solve problems afterward. At the end of each lesson they complete an art project, and after the final lesson a service learning project. With bullying on the rise in U.S. schools and increasingly diverse classrooms and communities, the need for empathy has never been more important. Each year, more than 3.2 million students are bullied, while an estimated 160,000 students miss school for fear of being bullied. The organization was just established in 2022 but we didn't run any business through at that time. We were still getting everything set up and determining the best way to accomplish our goals 0 0 We were able to donate 30 of these to local teachers, we ran a two week kindness event in our local district, and we donated shirts/hoodies/kindness jars and other items to those teachers that participated. 0 0 0 Dominic Pugliese Director 10 0 0 0 Andrea Pugliese Director 10 0 0 0 Samie Jo Hardman Officer 2 0 0 0 Andrew Hardman Officer 2 0 0 0 Jared Nash Officer 2 0 0 0 Lisa Nash Officer 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NJ Dominic Pugliese 28 Shoreline Rd Egg Harbor Township NJ 08234 6094026083 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 16960 16960 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16960 16960 16960 0 0 0 0 0 0 16960 1 1 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 This is the cost of the empathy programs we purchased to donate, wristbands, bookbags, apparel to donate, and other expenses used to giveaway.
