Cardinals United Care-A-Thon will help raise much needed funds to support classrooms at the elementary schools, recess equipment, fund field trips, and support students by ensuring basic needs are met through health and human service programs.
Children will learn about different ways of caring in their physical education classes. Then they have the opportunity to take the Care-A-Thon Pledge:
*Care about others and be kind
*Care about my teachers, classmates and school
*Care about my health and make good choices
*Care about my community and the world around me
*Care about the environment
And remember all proceeds raised local will stay local in Newton thanks to this new Care-A-Thon approach!!!
Cardinals United is a joint effort between Newton elementary school physical education department and United Way of Jasper County to teach kids about caring, community and beng part of something bigger than ourselves.

Check out the pictures below of some of the ways the money raised in 2020 and 2021 has helped schools and the community.
From food bank shelves being filled and families getting assistance to new PE equipment and fun field trips planned, the money raised during Cardinals United Care-A-Thon stays local in the community it is donated in.
