The Annual Crosstown Challenge is on!
Each school campus will win $1,000 in grant money to be used on a school initiative or need that fits within the Spirit of 67's mission if the participation goal set at the beginning of the school year is met. A holiday bonus of $500 per campus will be awarded if the goal is reached by December 31st.
Cherokee won the Crosstown Challenge Trophy for School Year 2021-2022 by having the highest overall family participation by Grant Day 2022. Will your school win this year? The Crosstown Challenge for 2022-23 ends April 20, 2023. The school with the highest participation at that time will win the contest and have their school's name engraved on the perpetual trophy plaque and will also win a popsicle party to be enjoyed by the student community in the spring.
