Many of the kids in the Promise to Kate Junior Board attend Chets Creek Elementary School. Each year the school does a "Kindergarten Round Up" one evening in April for kids that will be coming to school there in the fall. We thought that might be a good place to set up a table for a bake sale! So my awesome Junior Board members baked and wrapped cookies and brownies and some brought cupcakes. We greeted the sweet new incoming kindergarteners with smiles and many families not only bought baked goods, but left donations as well. We raised over $200 that night!
In our first 6 months as a group, this Junior Board has raised over $1500.00 for Promise to Kate foundation. WOW! I keep reminding the kids that every dollar will help scientists with research and hospitals with treating kids with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy and similar health problems. They may be small but these kids are making a BIG difference. Go PTK Jr. Board! Can't wait to see what we come up with next!
