This is also the only fundraiser that all athletes and parents are required to support.

We are excited to share that for the first time our team will be participating in a fundraising campaign for #GivingTuesday on November 27th this year. #GivingTuesday is a global giving movement that has been built by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in countries around the world. Millions of people have come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live. You can learn more at givingtuesday.org. Our primary focus of the campaign will be reaching out to alumni, their parents, and other friends of the team in the community. We are sending direct emails to our alumni database, and will be posting on our Facebook page (@ Woodson Crew-Alumni) and on Twitter. Feel free to follow us! You can find the campaign donation site here. If you have extended family that you think would like to support the team or if your employer provides corporate donations, please make them aware of the campaign. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to fundraising chair, Gina Clune at wtwcrewfundraising@gmail.com. 6.
