Check out these magical moments from our annual Foundation for the Future luncheon last week! We raised funds for essential programming such as experiential learning, sports, and the arts.🎨⚽ We'd like to acknowledge that there were some technical difficulties during the event, particularly with Wi-Fi/ cell service and the QR code we provided for electronic donations. The good news is that there's still time to make a difference! If you were unable to donate at the event, we invite you to contribute using the link in the comments.

Gobble gobble, folks! Tom the Turkey here with some running advice! Starting out can be tough, like trying to outrun a farmer. Don't push too hard or you'll end up feeling plucked! This Thursday, we'll be rolling out our Couch to 5K training plan - it's perfect for all of the birds new to running. You start slow, mixing walking and short jogs. First week, you only run for a minute at a time. Easy as pecking corn! You can finish in 8 weeks, or take it slower. Remember, even us turkeys can trot a bit when we need to. Don't miss the fun on Thanksgiving Day raising important money for the Grand Rapids Public Schools scholar athletes! https://lnkd.in/eXAumxPS
