Help a local school purchase life-saving equipment!

I know people have a lot of opinions about "private schools" and "Christian schools" and I get it.  BUT, I think I can still appeal to everyone here:  we need an AED on site.

We have students and staff here every day, as well as visits from grandparents, delivery people, parents, and other visitors.  We have a local church who uses our facilities for various events.  We have community sports teams who use our fields for practice. We have out of shape parents who play their kids in the parents vs. kids games at the end of the basketball season.  We really need this piece of equipment, hoping that we never actually have to use it! 

It's REALLY hard to raise money for something you never want to use.  It's even harder when people think private and Christian schools have unlimited funds.  Yes, it's actually hard to raise 1600 bucks for an AED!  It could mean books, food, office supplies, even an iPad, etc.  No, we don't charge a giant amount for tuition and amasse funds for a rainy day or a fancy upgrade - we cover the costs and a  small "rainy day fund" for facilities needs.  (SPOILER ALERT! - We WILL be raising funds for an expansion soon - but right now, we need to work on something as simple as an AED.  If you're interested in hearing more about that ptoject please contact us.)

If you'd like to help, we participate in the SCHWAN'S Fundraising program, and all proceeds from the next sale(s) go directly toward purchasing an AED for our school.

You can purchase gift cards through our school with our campaign code (this month, it's #39036), or stop in the school office to buy a gift card, or you can order and pick up from the truck on May 1st from 2-6pm.  Order using that campaign code (39036) online at www.schwansfundraising.com, or via phone at (888)-724-9267, also with the campaign code  (39036).
