WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
Sharon was great about letting me know of opportunities my daughter might enjoy after she attended her first Dottie Rose event. The organization does a great job of helping their students feel comfortable while learning and having fun! The ice cream outting downtown was also a hit!
Parent
My daughter had an awesome experience at the Dottie Rose summer camp! She had an opportunity to learn about theatre at UNC Charlotte in a class taught by college professors. She also had an opportunity to learn about robotics and coding.
Parent
My experience with Dottie Rose foundation has been amazing. I get to learn new things and do a lot of things that I didn’t think I would do, but the dottie rose has really made me think about trying new things because ever since the first time I went, they have been telling me about other events and since I had so much fun the first time I agreed so I have been coming back ever since my first time with the Dottie Rose foundation.
Parent
Thank you so much! The girls had a blast and we are going to try to get them plugged into the camp this summer. Anytime I have all 3 girls sharing how fun something was and how much they learned we don’t have much feedback.
Parent
DRF has opened both of my daughter’s eyes to all the possibilities computer science and technology has to offer – all while having a blast! I am so grateful for all the camps and events DRF puts on that introduces such a fun, new world to these girls.
Parent
Both of my daughters have attended different events and both were wanting to know when the next event was taking place.
Parent
My daughter was done with coding. she felt like she had no more interest. Luckily her aunt signed her up and she was so elated. She enjoyed the classes and doing something different with her coding skills.

Our founder, @sharont_jones, presented at the Professional Women’s conference with the @ncacpa. In her own words, “We, Dottie Rose Foundation, enjoyed being a part of the Professional Women’s conference with the North Carolina Association of CPAs (NCACPA). I presented on ‘Unlocking Her Tech Brilliance’ and we were also the community partner for the conference. A great two days learning and growing with other women.
