The Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund has made a contribution to the Brookline Early Education Program (BEEP) where Lauren got her start in school, where Lauren's mother teaches.
Its mission it is "to provide an inclusive environment where children can learn social competency, develop cognitive, motor, and language skills, and expand their understanding of the themselves and the world in which they live." A special emphasis is placed on social thinking, and developing healthy relationships early on.
