🚨 FINAL HOURS to Triple the Love for Kilmer! 🚨

Today is the last day to be part of our Triple Match Campaign — gifts made by 11:59 PM CT today will be included in this incredible opportunity.

So far, our community has raised $1,460, which becomes $4,380 through the 3:1 match — and we are truly blown away by the generosity of our Kilmer families. Every single dollar in a matching campaign has an outsized impact, and each gift helps us move closer to the full match.

✨ How to give today:
To be included in the triple match, please send your donation to Friends of Kilmer Fundraising Board Chair, Gabriela Starr, for tracking and acknowledgement.

💛 Venmo:  (last 4 digits 4506, if prompted — can be bypassed)
💛 PayPal: 
💛 Cash can be given -- contact [email protected]

✨ Add “FoK Matching Donation” in the memo.

These funds help us end this school year strong and build sustainability into 2026, so we can continue responding to our community’s needs.

Huge gratitude to Tenzin and Pushkar, proud Kilmer parents, for making this triple-match opportunity possible — and thank you to everyone showing up with so much care. 💛

✨ Triple the Love for Kilmer! ✨

This Giving Tuesday, a generous Kilmer family and FoK Fundraising Committee Member — Tenzin and her husband Pushkar — is offering a 3:1 corporate match to support our school. That means every $1 you give becomes $3 for Kilmer! 💛🐾

They’ve already contributed $500 (which becomes $1,500!) and are inviting our community to join them. From Dec 2–16, all gifts will be included in their employer match — up to $3,000 raised → $9,000 for Kilmer! 😍

How to give:

⭐ To ensure every donation is tracked for the match and properly acknowledged, please send your gift directly to our FoK Fundraising Chair, Gabriela Starr. 

⭐ All donation options are available through our Linktree in the IG bio (Venmo + PayPal).
Be sure to include “FoK Matching Donation” in the memo. 

⭐ Interested in making an ACH, check, or cash donation? Contact us at [email protected] so we can support you directly!
