Eastview High School raised close to $40,000 through two consecutive sing-a-thons held in 2009 and 2010. The 16 hour events included performances by local middle and high school choirs; school staff and faculty; Eastview High School Girls and Boys Basketball teams; many professional local singers including Robert Robinson and Michael Monroe.

In 2009, the Juggbros, a local non-profit group founded by two brothers, Brett and Blake Szalapski, held a “Joggling Event” at Lake Harriet to benefit Angel Foundation. “Joggling” involves juggling while walking or running, although many participants chose to simply watch and walk with the jogglers involved. Though only in high school, these two talented jugglers wanted to use their skills to benefit the community. A large crowd joined in on the run/walk, and the event raised more than $1,700 dollars for Angel Foundation!
