Your support of these projects helps to reinforce the character which we hope to ins ll in our students and in turn help make them be er ci zens. Second, it is an important fundraiser by which pledges are gathered from family and friends by students for completed service projects. Finally, our students experience the reward of service by being the hands and feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. Enclosed you will find informa on outlining our Sponsorship opportuni es available this year. We hope you or your business will consider working in partnership with Texoma Chris an School for CARE‐A‐ THON 2014. We greatly value your support. It enables Texoma Chris an School to make a significant impact in our community and further the mission of our school. We greatly appreciate your considera on.
