CherryDale Fundraiser
We are nearing the end of our fundraiser and appreciate everyone who has showed their support. We know how busy families are...so if you have not yet gotten started...we ask you to start today! There is still time and it only takes a few minutes to register and share online or to show the brochures to your family and friends. Each item sold helps to make a difference in the lives of our kids. It provides for opportunities that are not possible without your help. Let's finish strong. .
Remember: Packets are Due by October 29th!
