Why should I participate?
To support one of DeKalb County’s rising elementary schools. Very tight county school budgets unfortunately are not enough to position schools to thrive and grow at this time.  This fundraiser is by far the most important for the school and the school needs funding and resources to continuously improve. Your registration becomes a direct donation to the school to help them achieve even loftier results.
