  • An item or gift certificate from your favourite local business

No item is too small(or too big!).  Please email thegledhillguardian@gmail.com if you have any questions or something to donate.  Items can also be dropped off at the school office.

Note: Some local businesses have already been approached or have offered donations.

Some sponsors for the night we have so far are:
