**Families Helping Families: Building a Community of Kindness**

At Anderson School, we've witnessed something truly special: families helping families, neighbors supporting one another, and adults teaching children the value of generosity. These acts of kindness are what make our Anderson community so unique. Now, we have a chance to add a little extra "sweetness" to our Sunshine Fund.

**What is the Sunshine Fund?**

The Sunshine Fund is a lifeline for Anderson families in need. Whether it's providing a child with new shoes, school supplies, or winter essentials like coats, gloves, and hats, this fund makes a tangible difference. It also helps families who have recently welcomed foster children into their homes, offering support with necessities like sheets, towels, clothing, and toiletries. The Sunshine Fund is all about the Anderson community coming together to lift one another up.

**How Can You Contribute?**

There are a couple of easy and fun ways to get involved:

1. **Donate via Pushcoin:** Click Here to contribute directly to the Sunshine Fund through a Pushcoin link. (Checks can also be made out to CUSD 303 and add Anderson Sunshine Fund on the memo line.)

TO DONATE FUNDS FROM LEMONADE STAND EVENTS, WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT CHECKS (Please keep cash donations, and write a check for the amount collected, check donations can then be deposited into the sunshine fund.) Please make checks payable to Anderson Elementary and put Sunshine fund in the memo line.

There are still a few Lemonade Stand Kits available and can be picked up at Anderson if you want to help the sunshine fund with a lemonade stand.

Together, we can continue to build a community where kindness flourishes and families support one another.

KICK-A-THON is a local event that began over 30 years ago as an effort from the St. Charles High School Dance Team to raise money to help kick cancer. It has grown to include East and North High School Dance Teams and other amazing charities. This charity event will benefit the Fox Valley Food for Health, Colette A. Miles Foundation, and the high school dance teams. To date, we have raised over a million dollars and need your help to keep that number growing. Please join the St. Charles High School Dance Teams as we raise money to kick cancer.

This year’s event will take place on Friday, October 4th, 2024, at St. Charles North High School, prior to the start of the varsity football game between St. Charles North and St. Charles East. Local community members who help with fundraising will form a kick line alongside the dance team members and kick 100 times in an effort to raise money for these charities.
