Braves Helping Braves

A message from the Indian Hill School District in partnership with
Indian Hill Foundation, Indian Hill PTO & Indian Hill Boosters
Indian Hill Faculty, PTO, Boosters, & Foundation collaborated on an effort to support 22 school families with 58 children with gift cards this holiday season totaling $8,000 to Kroger, Target, and Walmart.

We celebrate this success, and we thank all Braves who helped!

Supporting Braves Helping Braves isn't limited to the holiday season.
