Are you REALLY 'Giving to the Max'?
Last year we raised an impressive $28,500 during Give to the Max. But did you know...less than 5 of our family donors "maxed" their donations last year by harnessing the power of their employer's matching funds program? Imagine how much more we could have raised with matching funds! As we enter the final week of Give to the Max, please take advantage of any matching gift programs your employer may have to double your donation's impact! Click here to read more.

Did you grow up or spend extensive time in
another culture?
Do you know a dance, song or story you could share?
Frau Hall would be extremely grateful for your help! Last year's Carnival of Cultures was such a success because of parent contributions.
