GIVING CHALLENGE 2024 IS NEXT WEEK!

Please don’t forget to participate in the Giving Challenge, which will run from noon on April 9 until noon on April 10. This event is a 24-hour virtual event. Giving Challenge cards are available with a direct link to Kirkwood’s fundraising page. Kirkwood will participate under the Hope4Communities umbrella to raise funds to sponsor one hundred children from Sea Breeze Elementary School families in need for our 2024 Day4Hope back-to-school event. Gifts up to $100 will be matched by The Patterson Foundation (PF). Hope4Communities will keep 50% of the matching funds, but we will get your initial donation plus the remaining 50% of the PF matching dollars. This has been a great way for us to raise our sponsor dollars in the past. The sponsorship for each child costs us $100. Our goal is set at $10,000.

CLICK THIS LINK ON APRIL 9 AT NOON OR BEFORE NOON ON APRIL 10 TO DONATE

The link will only work when donations are open online.
