We will plan on participating in this fundraiser every year that we are students at Point Elementary School!

It has taught us how important it is to remember the children in our community that are being treated for serious illnesses in our local hospitals.

Basket of Hope will use the funds to purchase toys, games, craft items, and more that will help to fill baskets to be given to seriously ill children.

We hope that Basket of Hope receives a grant from Companies with a Mission so many more children will receive these wonderful gift baskets!
