Richmond • Summer Campaign 2026
We're local students mowing lawns to raise funds for health care, build leadership skills, and strengthen our community.
Every lawn we cut supports youth development and drug prevention education in our community.

We value transparency, accountability, and communication with you, in this effort to make the best we can for our community.
Front and back lawn mowing done with care and professionalism by motivated students.
60% of every booking goes directly to the student who completes the job: real employment, real responsibility.
A portion of every service supports Richmond General Hospital and the Responsible Drug Learning Association.

We collect $50 upfront, then ask how you'd like it split. Two minimums apply: 1) the student always receives at least 60% ($30) because their work deserves fair pay; 2) at least 10% goes to campaign costs, to support the campaign's basic operating expenses. You direct the remaining 30% in 10% steps, to the causes that matter most to you.

After booking, we'll follow up to ask how you'd like your $50 divided. Allocations are in 10% increments, with two fixed floors: students always receive at least 60% ($30), and campaign costs always receive at least 10% ($5); we receive no government or non-government funding. Students may also choose to donate a portion of their own share back if they wish.
