about our charities
The SEE Science Center is a hands-on, science
discovery center where visitors of all ages learn
about science by doing science. Interactive
exhibits on two floors covering 30,000 square
feet de-mystify science and encourage future exploration. SEE programs
foster an early appreciation for and engagement with science and
technology for more than 50,000 young people each year. From overnights
to birthday parties, teacher training workshops to traveling exhibits, class
field trips to the SEE mobile Outreach Program, the mission of the SEE Science
Center is to promote the understanding, enjoyment, and achievements of
science. SEE is also home to the LEGO Millyard exhibit, the world’s largest
permanent installation of LEGO bricks at mini-figure scale.

The Bobby Stephen Fund for Education is a non-profit
organization whose mission is to assist at risk and disadvantaged
youth. Over the years, the Bobby Stephen Fund for Education
has raised more than $500,000. The proceeds of the event
will be used to not only assist young people in the Jobs for
America’s Graduates program through scholarships and
program development, but also help other New Hampshire
citizens seeking financial aid for education, by providing
these youth with the opportunity to learn the value of education and its
importance in finding success in life. Jobs for America’s Graduates has
given more than 10,000 young people at risk of dropping out of school,
