Last week, Palmetto Elementary wrapped up their fundraising efforts for the school’s future therapy dog with an incredible celebration!
Over the course of the week, students worked hard fundraising in hopes of raising enough money to provide Maverick with the necessary training. On Friday, all students and faculty were invited to attend a celebration and presentation of Maverick in the school gymnasium. During the celebration, Palmetto Business Association presented a $500 donation for Maverick In addition, the grand total of $2,807 from their fundraising efforts was announced!
Thank you so much to those who sent in donations or donated through the go fund me page! Special thanks to Palmetto Business Association and All About Fabrics for their donations and to Ace Hardware Williamston for their commitment to donate!
