SLANT 45 Team Fighting Hunger in Fort Worth

The FROGs (Friends Reaching Our Goals) is a SLANT 45 team of second graders from Tanglewood Elementary in Fort Worth whose mission is to fight hunger in their city.

Through a series of summer fundraisers, they have raised nearly $1,000 and collected over 1,000 cans of food for the Tarrant Area Food Bank! The team also spent an afternoon packing backpacks for the Food Bank’s SummerPacks for Kids program, which provides weekend food for needy children in Tarrant County.

Next week the FROGs kick off “Hits Against Hunger” and “Kicks Against Hunger”, where for every a hit a teammate gets in baseball or softball or every kick a teammate gets in soccer, sponsors will donate a dollar to the Food Bank.

Check out their blog for more about what the FROGs have accomplished so far and what they have planned for the fall.
