LACE UP ALLENWOOD-Shoelace Fundraiser for Baylor Walters

A fundraiser event “Lace Up Allenwood” to raise money for our awesome fellow Allenwood student, Baylor Walters, who has been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of cancer, and is currently going through 6 months of chemotherapy and 1 month of radiation.

To show support for Baylor, we will lace our shoes with green shoelaces and help him with his final sprint to the finish line by wearing them to May Fair and Spirit Day on May 25th.  Shoelaces can be purchased for $5 per pair by completing the order form below and returning to the Main Office.  Any donation would be greatly appreciated!

All proceeds from this fundraiser will be presented to the Walters Family.
