MEF is corralling these ‘Stangs all around town this spring to support our schools (between April 11 and June 20). You send these friendly foals to any of your neighhhbors -- as a thank you, a congrats, or just for a fun surprise (send on a specific date or at any time)! The stampede will trot through their yard for 24 hours and then gallop off to the next house. Giddy-up!
The funds raised through this will directly support MEF’s grantmaking to teachers in the five Munster schools to provide innovative and experiential learning opportunities.
Send a Stampede on a Specific Date
You have the option to request that your neighhhbor gets Stampeded on a specific date, such as around graduation. Since these mustangs are wild, we'll provide you with an option of three dates that you can request.
Send a Stampede at any time
You can choose to send a Stampede to your neighhhbor at any time during the fundraiser (i.e. April 11 to June 20). Once our wranglers have corralled the mustangs we'll email you the date of when the Stampede will occur.
Were you stampeded?
If you would like to find out who sent your stampede, you can do so by making a donation to MEF (suggested donation: $20). The kind person who sent you this surprise will then be revealed to you via email!
Craft beer, gourmet food, trivia...and more!
Thank you to everyone that helped make our annual Jeans & Jersey's event a huge success! You made this alternate version of our event so much fun. We loved seeing all of your smiling faces (watch this recap video with your photos/comments). Our supporters have been with us every step of this challenging year and have not only continued to back Munster schools, but helped to keep our community strong by being there for one another. We're excited to see you at Jeans & Jerseys next year.
