The GAINS project (Graduation Assistance Impacting Needs of Students) The GAINS Program aims to help students who are most at risk by providing the support and motivation to help these students graduate on time and prepare for success in college and career.

Recent Successes and Current Challenges

We recently raised over $50,000 to support the Ballard High School Library. This will aid in the purchase of much needed books, videos, and online access to fit the Library needs.

In August 2012 we raised $90,000 to provide assistance to 22 athletic teams, music, dance and cheer.
