Dear Southwest families,
Southwest’s annual BLAST
day fundraiser ends Friday, and we need your
help to make it a success! BLAST
day is an opportunity for our community to unite and do everything in our power
to help a certain cause. The goal is to help another community while
strengthening our own by Being Loving And Sharing Together.
This year all BLAST day donations will go to Children’s Hospitals and Clinics
of Minnesota and Ronald McDonald House, changing the lives of many children
with serious illnesses within our own city who cannot afford care at a critical
time in their lives. Together we hope to
raise over $35,000, a BLAST Day record.
We chose Children’s
because it touched our hearts. The most important quality we found was in
Children’s oncology department, which cares for 55% of children diagnosed with
cancer in Minnesota. As a community, we have witnessed the devastating effects
of cancer first hand. We want to make a difference in the lives of these
children and support their families during an immensely difficult time. But we
can’t do it alone. We can do this together to show our support as a Southwest
community.
We need your help to
make sure our BLAST Day touches the lives of the thousands of children that
Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota cares for. We have raised $9,357,
but we have a long way till we reach our goal of $35,000. Any amount, big or
small, is truly important to help this cause.
Please, show our
community support to reach our BLAST day goal! We really can’t do it without
you. You can donate at http://www.razoo.com/story/Blastday2013 or
by bringing in cash or checks to school. Checks can be made out to Southwest
High School, and donations are tax deductible. Again, any amount you are able
to give will help children in need in of care in our own city, and will be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
