For some kids, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones is the difference between being able to learn and shutting down completely.

The Keep It 200 Initiative is sponsoring emergency classroom bags for autistic children who experience sensory overload in learning environments. Each bag may include noise-cancelling headphones, sensory supports, comfort and regulation items, gloves for classroom care needs, and essential classroom supplies. These bags stay in classrooms, so children have access to the tools they need when it matters most.

Many of the children this initiative serves are part of our own community, including families connected to Will Trippley Foundation programs. That makes this personal.

We are proud to join Cogdell, Mattison & Associates, and Gifted Child in supporting this initiative, and we are especially grateful to Stacey Jones Bey, Executive Director of Matter of Minds Health & Wellness, whose generous $1,000 Grand Sponsor donation is helping make it all possible.

Now we are calling on our community to keep the momentum going.

Every item on the Amazon Wish List goes directly toward sponsoring an emergency classroom bag for a child who needs it. No amount is too small. Every contribution makes a difference.

💜 Sponsor a bag. Support a child. Strengthen our community.

Volunteers Needed for the Keep It 200 Packaging Event

We are looking for community volunteers to help package noise cancelling headphones, autism support bags, emergency support bags, and other sensory supplies that will be delivered to local classrooms for Autism Awareness and Acceptance.

This is a hands-on opportunity to support students who benefit from sensory tools that help them stay calm, focused, and ready to learn.

If you would like to volunteer, please sign up here:

Thank you for helping us Keep It 200 for our students and classrooms.

It’s not too late to become a Community Partner.
The Keep It 200 initiative is placing noise cancelling headphones and sensory support bags into classrooms supporting autistic children across our community.

Our Community Partner Banner will be released soon recognizing the organizations, families, and leaders helping us reach this goal.

If your organization would like to stand with us and be included, there is still time to participate.
Together we can create calmer, more inclusive classrooms for every child.

Join us. Help us Keep It 200.
