🚨 URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

​There are officially ONLY 11 DAYS LEFT in the Theodore Judah Cougar Chase fundraiser, which means our time to bribe....err, encourage....friends and family to donate is rapidly ticking away! ⏰️

​Look, we’ve put these kids through intense obstacle course training. They’re running, jumping, and dodging like little ninja warriors, and frankly, their sweat deserves your spare change.
​If you haven’t chipped in yet, consider this your official, loving, and completely shameless nudge.

​🚨 THE 11-DAY "TAG & DONATE" CHALLENGE 🚨

​We’re crowd sourcing our final push, and we need YOU to engage in some friendly peer pressure:

​DONATE: Hit the link below and drop a few bucks. Every dollar goes directly back to supporting our amazing school programs!

​TAG A VICTIM: In the comments below, tag:

​A grandparent who loves to spoil the kids.
​A friend who still owes you $10 from 2019.
​A neighbor who owes you a favor.
​Anyone who can’t resist a good school obstacle course.

​SHARE: Put this on your timeline and let the guilt free fundraising roll in!
