Eureka Schools Foundation announces $415,000 grant to district following successful golf fundraiser
Summary
Eureka Schools Foundation co‑chairs reported a successful golf tournament that netted about $78,500 and announced the foundation's planned grant to the district of $415,000 to support programs and partnerships.
Representatives of the Eureka Schools Foundation (ESF) reported to the board that the foundation’s recent golf tournament and fundraising work produced substantial community support and will enable a planned grant to the district of $415,000 for the coming year.
ESF co‑chairs Jessica (last name not read) and Rob Gutowski gave the update. Rob Gutowski said 144 golfers participated in the tournament and about 35 sponsors supported the event; the fundraiser netted roughly $78,500, up from $40,000 the prior year. Jessica told trustees the foundation focused on communication, board growth and transparency this year and said: “Businesses in the community have really stepped up… it is our honor to say that this year our grant to the school district is $415,000.” The group invited board members to a photo and thanked district staff and families for support.
Why it matters: The foundation’s grant is unrestricted district support that leaders said helps expand programs and services beyond the regular budget. The board received the presentation and expressed appreciation for ESF volunteers and donors.
Ending: ESF leaders said they will deliver the check and continue to partner with the district on events such as the fun run, auction and next year’s golf tournament.
