Scholarships are at Risk

We have an opportunity to receive a $5,000 match from Marathon Golf if we are able to raise $5,000. We are $1,500 short of our goal. Please consider helping us raise the remaining $1,500 so we can continue to provide scholarships for students to attend Unicorn Village Academy. Our final deadline is June 4 to report our earnings. For every $100 you contribute, you will be entered into a raffle to win a 3-day/2-night get away to Ocean Reef Country Club.
