TOTAL IMPACT in Nine Years
$849,000 in School Grants Impacting 108,548 Students
Until 2022, the Foundation had focused on providing school grants through the Duck Dive for Education fundraiser, held each spring. With the addition of Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow iChallenge in 2022-23, the Foundation expanded its reach to a new area of need – paraprofessional-to-teacher scholarships and teacher-to-counselor scholarships. In 2024-25, the Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow iChallenge shifted to the Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow Glow Run for Educators and money raised was shifted to a new area of need-advanced degrees for FCS educators.
