Long time Brainerd Public Schools Foundation supporter and volunteer, Joey Halvorson, passed away after a courageous battle with ALS. In 2023, Joey established a Legacy Scholarship Fund. Joey, a Brainerd Public Schools Class of 1961 graduate, was an academic leader in her class and a pioneer when it came to women's athletics. It was important for her to support future generations of women make their academic dreams a reality.

Joey's memory and incredible legacy will live on in our community and through her scholarship. You're invited to celebrate Joey by making a gift in her honor: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/e/2a9HJw?vid=1jahsf

As school supply lists are arriving and students begin gearing up for a new school year, please consider helping us ERASE THE NEED for students in our district! 💙

By making a financial donation through the Brainerd Public Schools Foundation, you can help provide essential back-to-school supplies in classrooms where the need is greatest.

Donate today: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/e/XLLRwg?vid=1knwbl

100% of every dollar donated will be distributed across Brainerd Public Schools.

Nationally, an estimated 1 in 4 students can't afford the basic school supplies they need. When students start the year without these essentials, it can impact their confidence, attendance, and ability to learn.

Together, we can help ensure every student starts the school year ready to succeed.
