Dear Sledge Institute Family and Friends,

This week, we are celebrating a meaningful and joy-filled milestone: the last week of school in Sledge Institute’s very first year.

Our inaugural year has been filled with growth, discovery, courage, and community. We have watched our scholars learn new things, build confidence, strengthen their character, and take important steps toward who they are becoming. We are deeply grateful for every family, supporter, partner, and friend who has helped make this first year possible.

In honor of this special moment, we invite you to join us for a 2-day fundraiser as we celebrate what has begun and prepare for all that is ahead.

On Monday, we invite you to give at one of the following levels:
$10, $100, or $1,000

Then on Friday, our last day of school, we invite you to close the year with a celebratory gift of:
$18, $180, or $1,800

Every donation helps us continue nurturing a learning environment where students are seen, supported, challenged, and inspired. Your gift is more than a donation — it is an investment in our scholars, our families, and the future of Sledge Institute.

Thank you for helping us finish our first year strong and step into the next year with faith, focus, and momentum.

Donate here: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/sledge-institute (https://us.list-manage.com/YDmsaGWTSuS?e=d614206570&c2id=3d2747d8db65eda575b8e855ac28b348)

With gratitude,
Sledge Institute
