CAPITAL BLUE GRANT
The $2,500 Capital Blue Grant was the largest single grant that I was awarded toward completing the project at Colonial IU 20 Early Learning Center (CELC). The grant information was brought to me by Gregg Potter and thankfully, Dr. Christopher Wolfel, the Executive Director at Colonial IU 20 was able to complete the necessary info just under the deadline to be considered. One recipient is selected for the Live Healthy School Grant and I was notified in June 2024 that my project was selected!! I was thrilled and grateful, as the bump in funds really made the high cost of this project, seem within reach! The funds were awarded in Septemeber 2024, just as I was really getting started with purchasing big ticket items. Perfect timing.
MY NEXT FUNDRAISER
I have been fortunate enough to have the support of a local non-profit Every Ribbon Counts and Dryland UCC to host a Bingo Fundraiser to help with reaching my fundraising goals.

Road Trip Basket with $50 Sheetz Gas & Go Giftcard

Sweet Tooth Basket with Treats & $50 Josh Early Giftcard
Many more....20 prize baskets in Total...20 Games of Bingo, which works out to $1 per game. Please reach out for tickets
Home Depot in Easton provided a $50 Gift Certificate for my "Community Improvement" Project. I was super grateful because even with their $50 funds, the blue paint alone for the train feature was over $200.
Who knew paint could be so expensive!
8/3/24
Completed a successful clothing drive on 6/29/24 that raised $675 toward my Eagle Scout Project - I just keep going with trying to raise the necessary funds. I am thankful to all who made this a success!!
CLothing FUNDRAISER

HOME DEPOT
$100 Shopping Spree
The home depot on Linden Street in Bethlehem let me pick up $100 worth materials for my Eagle Scout Project. I got paint to help make my train feature, as well as bricks and pavers to use in the sensory walkways! Every little bit helps a ton. This really is turning out to be the community project that I had envisioned!

Business Sponsorships
I am looking for corporate or local business sponsorships in the $500 - $1,000 range. There will be a sponsorship plaque recognizing all companies who helped fund the project. If you are a small business or corporate sponsor that wants to provide a tax deductible donation and receive recognition, please email me directly so I may provide details on how to do so.

I HAVE CORPORATE SPONSORS!!
I have the first corporate sponsor, secured by Dr. Wolfel of Colonial IU20. I am thrilled to report that they have sponsored a generous $500 toward this project!!!
And another CORPORATE SPONSORship!!
....and another Corporate Sponsorship has given a very generous $500 toward the completion of this project!!!
YET, ANOTHER SPONSOR!
Goldfish Swim School and Lightbridge Academy are located across the street from the project site on Linden Street. Goldfish Swim School provided a generous $250 sponsorship.
Sponsors make it possible
The corporate sponsorships and grants are what have made reaching my financial goals possible!! I am grateful for the generous $250 donation from Lightbridge Acedemy.
Action Karate Sponsored
Action Karate generously donated $500 toward the completion of the project. I have been a student there since 2013 and my martial arts journey began because one of my therapists at Colonial IU 20 suggested it as a way to help with discipline and focus. I am forever grateful for that suggestion, as training in martial arts has taught me discipline, focus, grit, perseverance, confidence, leadership, community, and so much more.
