Angel fund Hardship request

While we never want to deny participation due to financial concerns, running a successful program requires teamwork by all, including payments, fundraising and volunteering. For this reason, we have created the Angel Fund Hardship Request. For additional information or to submit a request, go to Parent Resources > Hardship Request Information or click here.
