There’s still time to support Hoops for Learning, but the pledge window closes tonight at 11:59 p.m.! You can make a flat donation or pledge online or by cash/check.

Our students will be shooting hoops on Monday, March 23 and every pledge helps us get closer to our school goal — including installing a Gaga Ball pit for DES! Plus, the student with the most money raised, and the student with the most pledges in their name will get a limo ride home from school!

If you’ve been meaning to donate or make a per-basket pledge, now’s the time! Share your student’s link with friends and family and help us make a big impact one basket at a time.

Thank you for supporting our Gators and helping make this fun, student-driven fundraiser a success! 🐊🏀
