Step Up For Students

Supporting Education, Empowering Futures

At Double Eagle Distributing, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools to shape a child’s future. A strong educational foundation opens doors, creates opportunities, and lays the groundwork for lifelong success. That’s why we’re proud to support Step Up For Students, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Florida families access the learning options that best meet their children's unique needs.

Since 2014, Double Eagle Distributing has contributed more than $33.6 million to the Step Up For Students scholarship program—helping provide over 4,918 scholarships to low-income K-12 students across Florida. These scholarships give children the chance to attend schools that align with their individual learning styles and needs, opening the door to a brighter future.
