College Park senior forms nonprofit, creates activity book to benefit underserved youth

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- A Better Tomorrow Montgomery County, a locally based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recently announced the release of The Woodlands Coloring & Activity Book, designed and illustrated by 17-year-old high school senior Madeline Rice.

Proceeds benefit families in medical school, underserved youth, and ABTMC programs. The book made its launch at the Young Makers market, hosted by The Woodlands Arts Council, which took place recently at Market Street.

“The 40-plus page book features hand-drawn illustrations of beloved landmarks, public art benches, and community spaces, paired with activities and snippets of local history. Madeline’s vision is to help children imagine themselves in real, nearby places of joy and beauty, giving them a window of hope beyond hospital walls,” said A Better Tomorrow representatives in a statement.

Madeline is a senior at the Academy of Science and Technology at The Woodlands College Park High School. She has a passion for science, medicine, and the arts. Her creative vision is rooted in the belief that art can inspire resilience and hope.

A Better Tomorrow Montgomery County’s mission is to uplift and inspire through creativity, compassion, and community care. Its programs support children in medical settings through arts and creative outlets, underserved youth with opportunities for growth and inspiration, and the elderly and vulnerable through resources and outreach. The organization was founded by Madeline and her mother, Jennifer Rice.
