We are so grateful to have received a $700 donation for 2022, from the Kristin Rader Real Estate Group. This brings her total donation since the inception of her program in 2014 to a generous $7800. Similar to our “family night out” community fundraising events, this is another great way to raise money for our school!
Local real estate broker, Kristin Rader, who is also a parent at our school has a fabulous donation program. For every Skyline family or resident who buys or sells a home with Kristin, OR refers her to family, friends or colleagues who sell or buy with her, $100 is donated to the Skyline PTA when the sale closes. Please contact Kristin with any questions or referrals! kristin@kristinrader.com
