As of October 23, we've raised $31,365 with 12% of families participating. That's 25% of our $125,000 goal. Just think what we'll accomplish when the 88% of remaining families give! We'll do the unprecedented: reach our two 2019-2020 annual fund goals together!
Congratulations to Augie Phillips, who won last week’s raffle: a $100 gift card for NOPA restaurant. Please help maintain the giving momentum by making a tax-deductible contribution here today! P.S.
