Edmond Memorial’s annual community service project, Swine Week, began in 1986 when a small group of student council members decided that they wanted to make a difference in their school and community. They chose to raise money for a little girl who needed a kidney transplant. The students approached the principal, who supported the endeavor and even agreed to kiss a pig if they reached their total of $2,000, and when they did, Swine Week was born.

Fast forward 38 years, and the students of EMHS have collectively amassed over $8 million in charitable contributions. In 2024, an impressive $332,892 was raised for Peaceful Family Oklahoma. Swine Week’s financial support significantly helped with their building campaign to provide safe, stable housing for families experiencing homelessness.

The tradition of BALTO began in 1995 with a group of Edmond North students who decided to start a charity fundraising week. Named after a brave husky sled dog, BALTO stands for “Bring A Light To Others,” which is just what we intend to do! Since 1995, BALTO has raised over 7 million dollars for charities serving all kinds of needs. We have helped charities serving child cancer victims, brain tumor patients, special education students, premature babies, and many other worthy causes. BALTO strives to bring the students of Edmond North together with the community of Edmond and beyond to do some amazing work! Through activities such as the BALTO 5K, BALTO silent auction, school assemblies, t-shirt sales, and other efforts, BALTO strives to raise money each year for a worthy cause. Last year, BALTO was able to raise $346,060 for the Halo Project, an organization that equips families and community partners with proven methods to work toward individual healing and disrupt the cycle of hurt in our community because when people are SEEN, HEARD, & VALUED, they not only survive, they THRIVE. This year, funds raised through Edmond North's BALTO support Limbs for Life. Limbs for Life is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to providing fully-functional prosthetic care for individuals who cannot otherwise afford it and raising awareness of the challenges facing amputees.
