What Does This Mean for Our Schools?**
– **Enhanced Fundraising Opportunities:** With Booster’s extensive experience in school fundraising, this partnership will bring more funds to more schools. Schools will receive at least 50% of the funds raised, with an additional percentage going back to health and physical education teachers in the form of a Gopher gift card to support health and wellness in their school.
– **Support for Teachers and Students:** The health.moves.minds. program has already positively impacted students nationwide, helping them develop critical life skills, improve mental health, and enhance overall well-being. This partnership will allow us to continue this important work on a larger scale.
– **Increased Resources:** With the support of Booster and Gopher, more schools will have access to much-needed equipment and resources, ensuring that physical education and health programs are well-funded and equipped to meet the needs of students.
