Griffin Families: THANK YOU so much for donating to Glenview and all the students there. Because of you, we have raised $126,677. It was a short campaign (one week instead of on month), and we did not meet our goal of $130,000, but we think we did great considering the circumstances. If you haven't had a chance to donate, DO SO HERE: donate to Glenview. Remember, you can set up easy monthly payments of $50 to $100 dollars to spread your donation out over the year.
