Washington County, WI – Students at Ozaukee Christian School (OCS), 1214 Hwy. 33, West Bend, WI, participated in a labor of love to raise funds for the Night to Shine event at Portview Church, 3457 County Rd LL, Port Washington, WI, one of the 30 churches represented by OCS.
Due to the overwhelming support, OCS Student Leadership Council was able to provide a sensory item for guest gift bags for the event.
To raise money for this project, student volunteers ‘sold’ Valentine cookies with a handwritten note to students, teachers, and others. Orders exceeded the expectations with “sales” topping 230 cookies for the fundraiser.
The notes have been written; the frosting and decorating of the cookies is underway with delivery set to take place during lunch on Thursday.
According to the Night to Shine website, “Night to Shine, celebrates the uniqueness of each individual guest by providing an unforgettable night where they are welcomed, valued, and loved.
“[It] is an unforgettable prom experience, centered on God’s love, for individuals with special needs ages 14 and older.”
Night to Shine is sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation.
