MADNESS on a MOUNTAIN!

Written By Joel Furrow

WOW!

We are amazed at how God has provided through so many to make this past Saturday a HUGE success. The numbers below are simply astounding!

1 Saturday. 3 Teams. 21 Teens. 101 total Skimo laps. 201 total donations. $36,568 raised for our teens!

Team OLIVIA finished in first place, with 36 laps completed by 7 teens over the 8 hours of competition. They also finished first in fundraising with over $13,000 raised!

We are so encouraged and profoundly thankful for the amazing level of support for Lew Crew Youth Work Experience Program. Your gift is an investment in the lives of our amazing teens. This will create teen jobs in our neighborhood and put our teens on a path toward contributing to all that God is building in their family, school and community.

THANK YOU!
