Reminder: No School Tomorrow & Early Release 11/14

Are you REALLY 'Giving to the Max'?
Last year we raised an impressive $58,885 during Give to the Max. But did you know...We have been able to significantly raise this amount because many of our family donors "maxed" their donations last year by harnessing the power of their employer's matching funds program? Imagine how much more we could have raised with all eligible families using the matching programs! As we enter the final week of Give to the Max, please take advantage of any matching gift programs your employer may have to double your donation's impact! Click here to read more.
