In the next few weeks, several fundraising events will take place to support Tyler's efforts as he works toward his fundraising goal. We hope our entire JFK community will come together to cheer Tyler on and support this incredible cause that promotes inclusion, friendship, and opportunity for all. Please note that the car wash on the 26th will be at the Raffia Service Station.
