Friends of family team, Briggs Bunch, were so inspired by the Kick-off Breakfast that they are raising money for their friend, Madison Briggs, at school. During lunch time, they will be collecting donations and hanging paper sneakers in the lunch room with the donor’s name. The sneakers will be hung in a line by grade level and the grades will be competing against each other. The first grade to the finish line – wins! The school is also full of posters promoting the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes. They hope to motivate others to help find a cure!

To reach their goal of $10,000, Maggie’s Maniacs are holding several fundraising events. One of their sweetest fundraisers is the homemade candy they make and sell to co-workers at their Dad’s office. Those same co-workers also make a donation on Fridays to be able to wear a sports jersey of their favorite team. And top that off with the company’s matching gifts equals a successful family team!
