🌟 Day 2 of Supporting Central Students! 🌟

Let’s spread the word even further! Today, we’re asking you to share our fundraiser with grandparents, friends, aunts, uncles, and everyone who cares about our Central Warriors. Let's color that logo!

📢 Every share helps us reach our goal of $21,500 so all students can enjoy free admission to our home games and events! Your support makes a difference — whether through donations or simply helping us spread the word. This share is quicker than delivering all those cupcakes. 😂

Thank you for supporting the Central community! ❤️🤍
