VIEWMONT HIGH SCHOOL’S

ANNUAL VIKINGS GIVE FUNDRAISER

NOVEMBER 19 – DECEMBER 20, 2025

WHAT IS VIKINGS GIVE?

Vikings Give is Viewmont’s annual Christmas fundraiser, a tradition in which we provide Christmas for our community and others in need. Through Vikings Give, Viewmont High’s students can get involved and be a part of bringing Christmas and support to those in need.

WHO WE ARE SUPPORTING IN 2025

This year, Viewmont will be sponsoring the Grandfamilies Organization and families in our own community. Grandfamilies is an organization designed to help families who have taken in relatives’ children and are not able to fully support these children and their own. They help make it possible for these families to support and potentially adopt these children.

We are also supporting and supplying our Valhalla Student Center, which helps Viewmont students and families in need.

Donations at every level are appreciated. All of the proceeds will be used to help these families and other families in need in the Viewmont community, as well as provide support for our Valhalla Student Center.

This year our goal is $60,000.
