THANK YOU & A Huge Round of Applause for Our Walk-a-Thon Team!

Thank you to all the families that pitched in to support this year's Walk-A-Thon! Also, a huge thank you to our amazing Walk-A-Thon committee — Dannis, Kristine, Abby, Nicole, Bhavya, Haivanna, Wing, Mira, and Jason — along with our incredible Dad’s Club and volunteers for coming together to make this year’s Walk-a-Thon such a tremendous success! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that we’re on track to reach our $80K goal as company matches continue to come in. Your heart, effort, and time have truly made a difference — our students and families will benefit enormously from all your hard work.

We’re looking forward to another wonderful year filled with enrichment, community, and fun experiences for our students and families!
