Our Goal: $50,000
This school year, The Heart of Ranching is providing a free educational program for 25 local homeschool students. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to fund the program throughout the school year and provide an educational summer camp. The funds will help cover materials and equipment, guest instructors, hands-on activities, and other essential program expenses. They will also support our long-term goal of creating a permanent learning and community space for local homeschool families.
Our Students’ Community Project
THOR students will help prepare for the dinner and create artwork, crafts, and other items for the silent auction. Through this project, they will develop creativity, responsibility, teamwork, planning, and basic financial literacy while seeing how their work can make a meaningful difference in their community.
Can’t Attend?
You can still support WonderHood Project by making a donation, becoming an event sponsor, contributing an item to the silent auction, donating food or supplies, or volunteering.
