Our 12th annual Gift of Life Jog-a-Thon will be on Friday, March 6th. ECDS students at each grade level will run for 30-minutes, earning donations pledged by their sponsors for every lap. Funds go to Gift of Life International and are used to defray expenses for pediatric heart surgeons who travel to under-served countries and perform life-saving heart surgeries on children in need. Over the past 12 years, ECDS students have raised over $360,000 that has been used to save more than 300 children’s lives.
