The inaugural Everyday Einsteins Golf Scramble and Auction is a fundraising effort hosted by AeA Texas Council with proceeds benefiting the Everyday Einsteins after-school program. The event, which is open to the public, kicks off at noon with lunch for golf participants. At 1 p.m., golf begins with four-person groups playing a traditional scramble format. During the round, various holes will play host to longest-drive and closest-to-the-pin competitions. Following the tournament, participants have the opportunity to take part in the silent and live auctions and enjoy the award festivities and catered dinner.

AeA Texas Council, together with Big Thought, a Dallas-based learning partnership educating children and communities through arts and culture, worked to create Everyday Einsteins – an elementary-school-level program that engages young minds and makes learning about math and science inspirational and fun. With mentorship and donations provided by AeA members, the program will help build children’s excitement for science and math through hands-on experimentation and real-life problem solving, kindling interest in those respective career paths.
