Congratulations to our winner today….Lily S. won 2 $50 gift cards by raising $200 for our fundraiser! You can win, too! All you have to do is sign up, call, text, or email friends and family and ask them to donate to our school and to “Feed the Need.” We are a LONG way away from our goal of $100,000….but it doesn’t have to stay that way. If each student would raise just $100,  then we would not only reach out goal but exceed our goal! So get out there, start asking for donations and start helping our school! 

Tomorrow, anyone who has raised $250 will also get a chance to win 2 $50 gift cards, just like Lily did today. That’s not even the best prizes we’re offering, though…..Wednesday and Thursday, we’re gonna offer you the chance to win a Nintendo switch, a drone, or Apple AirPods! Make sure you’re a part of that drawing by signing up and asking friends and family to donate. We know you can do it! 

Also if you know any businesses who might be interested in sponsoring or if you own your own business, we’d LOVE to partner with you to be one of our corporate sponsors. Marketing opportunities are available now during our fundraiser, but afterwards, as well. See the attached flyer for more info.
