Introducing LEAP Bingo and Silent Auction →  February, 23rd 2024 

• • Overview:  LEAP has noticed the costs of field trips have gone up this year, and we appreciate our community's ongoing support in covering these fees. To help offset expenses and gradually rebuild our fundraising efforts at Leading Edge, we're introducing a new annual event—the Bingo and Silent Auction Night. We have a goal of raising $5,000 to offset the costs of next year's trips. 

  • First Steps:  

    • We're seeking families to join forces with us in reaching out to businesses, friends, and family to secure donations for our silent auction. As the event date draws near, we'll also be on the lookout for small food donations to boost our revenue.
