The funds raised from this event will go towards our education goals and be invested in programs that are helping children enter school ready to learn as well as to stay in school in the midst of a nationwide “drop-out crisis.”  These are programs that you can see at work right away with results that will last a youngster a lifetime by giving at-risk youth the edge needed to achieve in school, to make college a viable option, to encourage life-long learning, and to develop a strong work ethic and become part of a productive, skilled workforce.
