PLEDGESTAR
VOLUNTEER HERE
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Walk with Grace

Grace’s annual walkathon is less than a month away and we need your help!

RAISE FUNDS: We have a goal of $25,000, and we are far away from reaching it. This is a school-wide fundraiser! Please sign up for Pledgestar today. The first class that has 100% participation (every child signs up for Pledgestar) will receive a prize, and they won’t even have to wait until the walkathon is over. The sooner it happens, the sooner the reward!

HELP COSTS: Do you own a business or know of someone who does that would like to help us offset our costs in order to bring all money raised back to the school? We have many levels.

VOLUNTEER: A Sponsorship event like this takes a village. There are still spots available for ways to get involved, including donating your wagon for the day. Every Volunteer helps!
