100% of the funds raised will go directly to support Forest Fritter Friends. It’s a non-profit organization that empowers young adults with disabilities by teaching them hands-on baking skills. It helps prepare them with life skills that they might use in the workforce and future employment!
By filling your pail, you’re not just winning a prize for your class, you're opening doors, supporting inclusion, and helping build real-world job opportunities right in our community.
The class that raises and donates the most money will win a prize!
Key Club Members will be around on Wednesday during the last period to provide more details about this event.
