🚨 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. 💛
