GIVE FOR GOOD

The Walden Wacky Wheel

*To make our 50th anniversary milestone unforgettable, we’re introducing a brand-new tradition:* The First-Ever Walden Wacky Wheel!
When we hit fundraising milestones, our Head of School, Mrs. Tyler, will take on challenges selected by spinning the **Walden Wacky Wheel**—live and unscripted!
***Here’s what to expect:***
**• At 7:45am the wheel is spun for the first time**
**• At $25,000,** Mrs. Tyler completes the first wacky wheel challenge
**• At $35,000 and $45,000,** we spin again—with new surprises
**• At $50,000,** we’ll celebrate together at a **Walden community pancake breakfast** on **September 26!**

What Kind of Chaos Could the Wheel Unleash for Mrs. Tyler?

Here are just a few possibilities:

Eat 50 vomit-flavored Jelly Belly beans
Pedal a stationary bike until we reach the next milestone
Mystery bucket dump (slime, spaghetti, applesauce, ice—you get the idea)
Spinner’s pick
Mayo and mustard face mask
Ice trough bath
Tiny toddler trike ride around the carpool lane
Slime time!

Why Give for Good Louisville?

**Give for Good** is more than a day of fundraising—it’s a reminder of what community truly means. Supporting Walden means investing in a mission rooted in connection, compassion, and growth—and it takes **all of us** to keep that mission strong.
