Call to Action - Hurricane Relief

Our fellow Americans in the Southeast have been impacted by destructive flooding and power outages from Hurricane Helene, which made landfall on September 26. Rosebud School District has organized a fundraising and donation challenge for all of our schools to help aid the victims and communities who have suffered great losses in the past few weeks.

Please see the information below to find out how you and your students can help make a meaningful impact in the lives of our brothers and sisters in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.

Blessings to you all,

Kids for Kids Disaster Fundraiser

kids for kids

The children and their families have lost so much in this devastating disaster, homes, schools, roads and entire towns washed away. We are asking for donations so that we all can help the children and families that have lost all they have.

All monies collected will go directly to Mercury One Disaster Relief (a Glen Beck organization, 100% of donations goes to victims) and Samaritans Purse (a Billy Graham organization, run by his son Franklin). Both organizations have been on the ground in the disaster area since Saturday the 28th of September and will remain indefinitely. They are providing everything needed, water, food, clothing, generators, gas/diesel, communications, as well as helicopter rescue operations in the mountainous areas where roads are nonexistent.

We are challenging ALL Montana schools to join us in this effort to help!!

Thank you for your help, please be generous, it is greatly appreciated!!! Together we are strong. Kids for Kids.
