In 2024, the #igivearod community once again demonstrated remarkable generosity and commitment to supporting rural Alaskan schools and communities. Through the collective efforts of the #uglydogs and friends, we raised just over $30,000, which was directed towards various impactful projects!
Support for Schools and Children
Around half of that went to DonorsChoose projects, benefiting numerous teachers and students across Alaska. These contributions provided essential resources such as books, STEM kits, art supplies, and more, enriching the educational experiences of students in remote areas.
Support for Community Organizations
Beyond the classroom, #igivearod extended its support to various community organizations along the Iditarod Trail. This included donations to rural veterinary services, Alaska Native organizations, LGBTQIA+ groups, and other vital services that uphold and celebrate the diverse communities of Alaska.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on the achievements of 2024, we are filled with gratitude for the unwavering support of our community. We look forward to continuing this journey of making a positive impact in the lives of Alaskans, both in and out of the classroom.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to #igivearod in 2024. Your kindness and generosity continue to inspire us all.
