Primrose School of Dunwoody demonstrated its commitment to making a difference in Dunwoody. On Friday, April 25th the school held a Spring Fling fundraiser to help make giving back a top priority in the local community and raise money to support a worthwhile cause. This year’s event along with fundraising efforts throughout the school year raised more than $12,900. The focus of this event fundraising was in support of Reach Out and Read Georgia, a not-for-profit organization that fosters early childhood literacy by providing children between the ages of 6 months and 5-years-old with a book at well child visits. In addition, a portion of the proceeds benefit the Primrose Children’s Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that supports organizations that focus on the needs of children and families.
“We want to share our excitement for building Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts® with the community,” said Cami Nail, Primrose School of Dunwoody. “Not only were we able to raise funds for a great community cause, but our Spring Fling event also gave local families an opportunity to come together in a fun and exciting way.”
