Acorns for Education
The Oaks has invested over $250,000 into local schools through community giveback programs.
Now, with Acorns for Education, we’re continuing that tradition by supporting 15 elementary, middle, and high schools with an additional $15,750 this school year.
Here’s how it works:
- Shop, dine, enjoy services, or see a movie at The Oaks
- Submit your receipts to earn $500–$2,500 for your school
- Each month, the school with the most dollars logged earns a $200 bonus (limit one bonus per school)
