Famiy Fundraising
The foundation has completely moved into the office on Denton Tap for the next year until we can complete building our permanent facility! In order for the foundation to be able to maintain this location we have asked every family to raise an individual $2000. Some of the ways families are raising these funds include sponsorship for the walk, garage sales, support from their friends and families, and other various fundraisers. We have formed a Parent Fundraising Committee (PFC) to encourage our families to raise their part. Please come to the meetings! Feel free to email questions and ideas to the PFC at pfc@woodallkids.org
This money will go directly to secure the building and it affects everyone who attends the Brent Woodall Foundation.
