UPDATE:

This fundraiser is now closed, and Elevate K-12 is in the process of distributing the matching funds. Thank you for your generosity and compassion in supporting those affected by Hurricane Helene.

Dear Elevaters and Friends,

As many of you know, Hurricane Helene has wreaked havoc from Florida to the Carolinas and Eastern Tennessee. Some of our partner school districts, teachers, and colleagues have been impacted by this disaster. In response, we have established this completely optional employee fundraiser to support critical hurricane relief efforts and help our Elevate K-12 community!

All donations raised here will be tax deductible and directly donated to CARE, an organization providing cash assistance to help families in underserved communities who have been affected by Helene. The funds will go to helping these families meet their essential needs such as food, medicine and hygiene supplies, as well as support to help rebuild and ensure long-term recovery for families and individuals.

The Elevate team is also actively reaching out to our district partners who have been impacted to identify local nonprofits providing essential assistance in the communities hit hardest. Our hope is to direct some of the money we raise to these on-the-ground initiatives, ensuring that support reaches those who need it most.

Elevate K-12 has also committed to matching all funds that we raise (up to $3,000 individual max and $40,000 total), so please feel free to share this with your network and let’s double our impact!

Thank you for your support during this challenging time. Together, we can help our community rebuild and recover.
