COMMUNITY & MEDIA
Proud to honor President Dr. Nicole Porcaro as Bethesda Magazine’s 2026 “Woman Who Inspires”!
Check out a funny moment on the honorees’ panel as Nicole tells us one of her first professional experiences being doubted (and it got PHYSICAL)…and how she proved them wrong!
No Anxiety Prep IN THE MEDIA
No Anxiety Prep is committed to the idea that education changes lives.
In fact, we’ve spearheaded an annual Back 2 School Drive for the past eight years to benefit underserved communities in the D.C. area, like The Treehouse of Montgomery County, Comfort Cases, D.C. Public Schools, and Stepping Stones Shelter, and have donated materials to Nurturing Minds in Africa, a non-profit that supports higher education.
2026: Comfort cases
Comfort Cases Founder and CEO Rob Scheer thanks No Anxiety Prep for their 2026 donations of goods, cash, and auctionable autographed baseball memorabilia!

President Nikkee Porcaro takes us to the 2025 Donation Dropoff, which provided thousands of dollars in goods, gift cards, and even two signed balls to auction off from former Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez, a friend and supporter of both No Anxiety Prep and The Treehouse!
2024: Stepping stones shelter
2023: The treehouse of moNTgomery county (MD)
Our 2023 Drive collected over $1000 in backpacks, supplies and gift cards!

COVID didn’t shut us down, as we brought backpacks, yoga mats, school supplies, and more to help children recovering at The Treehouse.
Our 2022 Drive was full of crayons, markers, school supplies, bubbles, toiletries, backpacks, and shoes for the students! Pictured here is President Nikkee Porcaro with student liaison Julia C.
2020: The treehouse of moNTgomery county (MD) and D.C. Public Schools
2019: D.C. Public schools
Our 2020 Drive delivered glue sticks, crayons, colored pencils, markers, notebooks, and more to children recovering at the Treehouse and at Plummer Elementary.
In 2019, No Anxiety Prep collected over $800 worth of supplies for Plummer Elementary School in Washington, D.C., a Title I school. Teachers were ecstatic!
President Nicole Porcaro teaches at Montgomery College in Maryland, and started a Banned Book Drive in February 2025 to support all English department students at both the Rockville and Germantown campuses. So far, she has raised $1900 to support No Anxiety Prep’s mission of “Education For All” and distributed 160 books and counting to underserved students.
