Bike Ride Around Granger (BRAG)
BRAG is Assumption School's only fund raiser and is sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Organization.  We have held the event for six years and each year it continues to be more and more fun and raise more money for our school.  Recently we have teamed with Pride Fundraising to help with the framework and to handle on-line donations.  Even with this partnership, we have been able to keep over 97% of the proceeds!
