We also invite schools to join forces in raising funds to help the 5 GKC schools rebuild and recover.
Here’s the best part: 100% of all funds raised will go directly to the affected schools, ensuring your efforts make a real and lasting impact. And thanks to our incredible partner, Creative Visions, every dollar raised (up to $5,000) will be matched!
Thank you for your generosity and support. Let’s turn hope into action.
