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!
