Everyone let out that post fundraiser breath, it's almost June and it's Helmet Time.

It’s been a month since our annual fundraiser (feels like yesterday) and we have so much to be thankful for as far as the generosity of our supporters and sponsors as well as the hard work going on everyday at the causes that we help to support. This year we literally accomplished 110% of our goal which will equip us for our road ahead and allow us to do more good in the community. Thank you so much to everyone who has actively worked with us on achieving this.

Dictionary Program

We’ve officially closed out the Dictionary Program for the year. It was another year of our members being impressed at the energy that our local 3rd graders have in receiving these dictionaries and the appreciation and attention that they show. This year we handed out close to 450 dictionaries in classrooms in Edmonds and Lynnwood.

HELMET PROGRAM

We just placed our order with ProRider in Kent to replenish our helmet supply in support of our June distribution of helmets to our local elementary schools coming up the 2nd and 3rd week of June. We received a very attractive price which will allow us to extend our outreach on this front through the summer and into the fall. Next step will be to receive almost 400 helmets the first week of June and get them packaged/labelled for delivery.
