Boca students create Compete 2Give to help give back

By: Jan Engoren Contributing Writer

It all started with a Moonjar, a children’s bank that teaches kids to save, spend and share. When Jett and Stone Sacks, were 4-years-old, their parents Barbara and Mark Sacks of Boca Raton, gifted them with this bank.

This is their earliest memory of giving back, as they donated their share proceeds to the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Beach County.

Now 18 and students at St. Andrews School in Boca Raton, the fraternal twins have continued their charity work by founding the Compete2Give club and non-profit, which raises money for charities and engages other students in the process.

“We’re very proud of Stone and Jett,” said mom, Barbara Sacks. “They had an idea and stepped in to help. Our focus has evolved from raising money to getting more kids involved. When kids participate in these charity events they feel so fulfilled. It’s very rewarding and is a win/win situation for both givers and receivers.”

To-date the club has branched out to a number of other high schools, including Spanish River, Olympic Heights, West Boca, Boca High, Pine Crest and North Broward Preparatory Schools… Click here to view the full article on the Boca Newspaper Website
