The 2nd annual ECSD Dream Builders Challenge was a huge success raising a total of $147,293 for the Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation and its Dreams for Kids campaign. 

49 schools and two departments participated in the fundraiser, which gives back to ECSD students who are experiencing barriers to success. From hot chocolate sales to watch parties, our schools found creative ways to collect donations. ECSD staff also participated in a staff payroll deduction program. 

Over the past seven years, the ECS Foundation has supported 92 schools through grants and initiatives, impacted over 125,000 students and families, and has provided over 4.7 million snacks or meals to students so that they can focus on learning.
