On Wednesday, October 23rd, we wrapped up our walk-a-thon events with the walking/running component of the fundraiser, a celebratory BBQ, the Scholastic Book Fair, and the Walk-A-Thon Raffle. Thursday, October 24th, and Friday, October 25th, were PA Days for the elementary school. By early this week, we were able to come up with the final tally. Together, with God’s provision and grace, we raised $39, 234.50!!!
Although we were hoping to raise $45, 000 to cover our expenses to resurface the toddler playground (approximately $39,000), to purchase new sound system and microphone equipment (approximately $1000), and to replace classroom projectors as needed (approximately $5 000), we are truly grateful and appreciative of the very generous donations that were received in a very short fundraising period.
Thank you for praying and supporting our walk-a-thon! We are truly blessed to have such a responsive and caring community.
