The date has been set, so please mark your calendars! This is our only fundraiser for DSIG and it helps to pay for all of the wonderful events that we offer all year long. If you have a business that you know would like to be a sponsor of this event, please contact Patty White at [email protected]. Look for more details about this event in the next few weeks! It takes a village to run this event, so I will be in touch shortly about ways that families can get involved this year.
