The Bowling Tournament went well - raised approximately $2,000 which was much less than we had hoped for the golf tournament it replaced, but it was a great family event and one that we feel could grow over time.

Student-led community impact project idea: "One School, One Cause" - K-12 collaboration to identify a real-world problem and fund a solution.

• Students currently identifying a cause.
• Develop a competition between classes/grade levels to raise money for a cause they deem important.

Target for Penny Wars is $4,000.

In the Board's quest to learn more about Financial Development and Capital Campaigns, we have invited Moss +Ross to the next Board meeting October 25, 2025 to share what services they provide, timelines and basic information re: developing a capital campaign. As the fundraising Committee, we would certainly like to invite you to join in for the presentation either in person or remotely. As these are open meetings, the link is available on the website. We hope you will join us!
