Edmond High School Fundraisers 

Santa Fe High School: Double Wolf Dare Week

Santa Fe High School raised $233,229.87 during its annual Double Wolf Dare Week (DWDW), benefiting Keaton’s Kindness Foundation (K Club). The organization, based at OU Children’s Hospital, supports pediatric oncology patients with care packages, LEGO parties, and emotional support.

This year, funds will help transform a basic hospital room into a comfort care suite for families navigating children’s cancer.

Senior Drew Rosko said the students’ success stemmed from relentless preparation and community outreach.

“Our leadership students spent class time over the last few months making those calls,” Rosko explained, referring to their cold-calling efforts with local businesses. “And during the actual week of DWDW, we raised over $100,000.”

A silent auction and sponsorships were key contributors to their total, but the motivation came from knowing they were creating a peaceful space for families in need.

Edmond Memorial High School: Swine Week

At Edmond Memorial, Swine Week brought in $357,547 for The Comeback Kid Society, a nonprofit serving teens who are transitioning out of foster care or facing homelessness and incarceration. The funds will help establish two transitional homes designed to provide safety, structure, and support for young adults during a critical time in their lives.

Senior Ally Owen, who served as a Swine Week co-chair, credited the event’s success to the wide variety of engaging activities. “We had everything from our Hog Jog fundraiser run, to a daddy-daughter dance, golf tournament, movie nights, and even pickleball,” she said.

Owen, a four-year participant in Swine Week, noted that this year’s cause deeply resonated with the student body. “Everyone showed up—whether it was dancing with their dads or running in the cold. It was all for something bigger than us.”

Deer Creek High School: Wonderful Week of Fundraising

Deer Creek High School raised $167,349.55 during its annual Wonderful Week of Fundraising (WWF), with proceeds benefiting Proton Pals, a nonprofit that provides emotional, financial, and practical support to cancer patients undergoing proton therapy. Deer Creek Middle School contributed $25,761 of the total, showcasing a strong district-wide effort.

Funds raised will help provide cancer patients and their families with financial assistance, travel and lodging support, care packages, and access to mental health resources. “WWF is such a special tradition for our district,” said Maggie Leftwitch, Deer Creek Public Information Officer. “It’s amazing to watch our students take ownership of something that impacts real people in our community.”

A representative from Proton Pals called the donation “a game-changer,” adding, “No one should have to face cancer alone, and thanks to the generosity of Deer Creek students and the community, more patients will receive the support they need.”

The week included themed assemblies, after-school events, and community engagement—all led by the Deer Creek student council.

Edmond North High School: BALTO Week

Edmond North’s BALTO (Bring A Light To Others) Week marked its 30th year with a total of $346,060 raised for The HALO Project, which helps children heal from trauma through therapeutic services and caregiver support. The donation will allow HALO to move into a larger facility and reduce its two-year waitlist for services.

BALTO Chair Lauren Davis said one of the most impactful moments came during their “30K in a Day” initiative. “We ended up raising over $35,000 in one day through food sales, hallway games, and business donations,” Davis said.

The milestone year brought an added sense of pride. “Seeing the whole school light up with purpose? That’s something you never forget.”

These local high schools have shown the remarkable power of youth leadership and community spirit, raising over $1,100,000 for local nonprofits. Through creativity and determination, these students turned school traditions into lasting change, setting an inspiring example of how collective effort can make a meaningful difference.
