Students ask family, friends, and neighbors for pledges for which they will complete a 5K run, bike, or walk. SACS has partnered with OneCause giving platform to provide families with an opportunity to collect pledges online. Families should still record ALL pledges, whether online or currency based, on each child's pledge sheet. If a pledge was received online, the student should check the column on the pledge sheet indicating such.
Please share the pledging link with your family, friends, and neighbors!
