In Focus
A brain-based social and emotional learning (SEL) program that is proven to improve the mental wellness and social emotional intelligence in students grades K-8.
Impact Made
Since 2020, The Hayden Hurst Family Foundation has funded the implementation of “In Focus” in thirteen Title 1 Elementary and Middle Schools across Maryland, South Carolina, and Georgia.
ABii Robots
Robots programmed to engage and assist elementary students individually or in small groups with their schoolwork and supplement the already proven In Focus curriculum.
Impact Made
In partnership with Van Robotics, The Hayden Hurst Family Foundation has placed two specially programmed ABii Robots in South Carolina schools to further their social and emotional learning.
Built in a classroom - not a lab, this innovative augmented reality experience was created in partnership with visionary districts in Central Pennsylvania near Rallee’s Harrisburg headquarters.
After Rallee’s roll-out, classrooms have seen a 34% decline in negative behavior incidents with 50-60% improvement in time-on-task.
“Rallee has significantly enhanced our students' well-being and academic performance, making learning a more enjoyable and enriching experience." - School Superintendent
Empowering Learning Through Gamified Movement and Mental Health
Rallee is a move-to-learn app that uses 5-minutes of physical movement and mental health activities to energize students ability to focus and learn. Implemented throughout the school day, Rallee boosts brain power, improves behavior, and supports better mental health, helping students stay engaged.

Impact Made
In 2021 The Hayden Hurst Family Foundation added Military Veteran Health to our mission. We’ve quickly made an impact by matching funds with various K9 organizations and participating in fundraisers. Our funds have gone to train and place specially trained dogs with a veteran in need.
