Climb to Feed Kids
Jefferson staff participated again this year in the annual Climb to Feed Kids fundraiser held in Bresnan Arena on the MSU Mankato campus. This amazing community event raises tens of thousands of dollars every year to support the Backpack Food Program in area schools. The relay "race" has each team member going up and down every flight of stairs (768 total stairs), all the way around the arena. Teams collect donations in advance of the event, and numerous local businesses lend their support to this worthy cause. It's an exciting, albeit exhausting, day for all participants. This year Jefferson had two teams participate in the event. One team consisted of Jefferson staff members, and the other team sported an amazing group of PTO athletes. There was an incredible amount of "Jefferson spirit" throughout Bresnan Arena, evidenced in the picture gallery below.
The two Jefferson teams combined to raise over $2600 for the Backpack Food Program. To learn more about the Feeding Our Community Partners organization, click on the link below...
