W.C. Handy School hosting 'Buddy-a-Thon' fundraiser
FLORENCE, Ala. — Now through February 3, the W.C. Handy School is hosting its Buddy-a-Thon fundraiser. The fundraiser allows students to earn plush “buddies” by reaching donation goals.
The school will use the money raised to help fund events like the annual Fairytale Ball and the Peace Out Pre-K event for rising kindergartners.
When students meet their donation goals, they will get to choose a plush animal buddy to stuff and build when the Bear Factory brings its mobile “Create a Buddy” event to Handy on February 20.
The fundraiser encourages community participation while offering fun rewards for the students, so if you’d like to donate, click here.
