History

Historical Context

Goldie Hawn’s foundation runs the MindUP social-emotional learning program, which received a boost in 2018 when her daughter Kate Hudson’s capsule fashion line donated 50 % of net proceeds. Such celebrity-backed initiatives echo earlier public-private education pushes, like the My Brother’s Keeper Challenge launched in 2014, illustrating a growing trend of star power mobilizing resources for school programs.
