WOW, MVSC! $267.75 RAISED!

A HUGE thank you to our wonderful Mary Valley State College community for getting behind our Jellybean Day fundraiser! 🌈

Together, we raised an incredible $267.75 for the Type 1 Foundation — a cause that is very close to the MVSC heart. 💙

Thank you to everyone who dressed in their brightest jellybean colours, donated a gold coin, guessed the jellybeans and supported the day. Every little contribution added up to something pretty special! 🥰

We are so proud of our little school community and the way you continue to rally behind causes that matter.

$267.75! What an amazing effort, MVSC! 👏💙

All funds raised will be donated to the Type 1 Foundation to support the important work they do for families impacted by Type 1 Diabetes.
