This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Free or reduced entry is available for any student who wishes to participate, but to whom the fee may present a financial hardship. There are close to 85 participants each year. Up to 20% of the participants are given free or reduced entry.
- $4,222 spent. The organization puts on an annual picnic for all 8th grade students at the school.
