Giving back to local schools is at the heart of Blue Gardenia’s mission.

Supporting local schools has always been close to Bethany's heart. As a mom of three and longtime school volunteer, she has spent years as a Room Parent, volunteering in the library, teacher workroom, and at school events. Bethany is currently serving as Secretary of the PTA at Gorzycki. 

Blue Gardenia was built with that same spirit — to give back to the community that gives so much to our families.In the 2025–2026 school year alone, we’ve contributed nearly $10,000 in sponsorships to Austin ISD campuses including Baldwin, Baranoff, Bear Creek, Clayton, Mills, Kiker, Small, Bailey, Gorzycki, and Bowie.

These funds support classroom initiatives, teacher grants, appreciation events, and programs that directly benefit students across our southwest Austin community.

While we wish we could support every request we receive, our giving program is dedicated to school partnerships through PTA sponsorships and Spirit Shopping events. This focus allows us to make a greater impact across all students and teachers in our community schools. We’re deeply grateful for the continued support that makes this possible — because every time you shop small with us, you’re helping us give big. 💙
