CCA Foundation reports $9,000 from Night of the Stars, new fundraising calendar and staff-focused giveaways
Summary
The Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Foundation reported $9,000 raised at last year’s Night of the Stars, plans changes to this year’s dine-out schedule and announced staff-focused fundraising incentives including two personal-day prizes.
The Clear Creek Amana Foundation reported several successful fundraisers and outlined a calendar of events for the school year, including plans to move one dine-out to November and provide two personal-day prizes for staff winners in December.
At the school board meeting Mr. Parker, presenting for the foundation, said the Night of the Stars generated $9,000 through sponsorships and that the foundation plans to scale sponsorship fundraising going forward. He said the foundation’s spring dine-out was the second-most successful to date and singled out Millstream Brauthouse for running two days of contributions and being the top contributor for that event.
The foundation also raised new revenue through a golf tournament that sold all 36 team slots and added silent-auction items this year, including overnight stays and travel packages donated by local partners. The foundation distributed more than 500 donuts across the district to begin the season and plans a hall-of-fame induction on Oct. 24 at the final home game.
Mr. Parker said the foundation will move its fall dine-out from the first Thursday in December to the first Thursday in November to avoid conflicting with the district’s staff charitable giving campaign in December. Staff who donate starting Nov. 10 will be entered into two drawings on Dec. 9 and Dec. 16; the two largest prizes will be personal days subject to the district’s personal-day restrictions and usable in the 2025–26 school year, he said.
The foundation also announced program support and sponsorships: it will sponsor the Clippers conservation classroom at an anticipated cost of about $500 this year (down from a prior cost of roughly $7,500) after a revised package from East Ridge and Mr. Bolsom; it will sponsor a free Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application event at the high school on Oct. 30 open to CCA families (slots nearly full); and it will sponsor Meals for the Heartland and other community service activities.
The foundation asked board members for continued outreach to local businesses for prize and auction-item donations and noted dates for upcoming events: Night of the Stars on April 18, spring dine-out on May 7 and the foundation golf outing on June 11.
Board members asked no substantive questions and thanked the presenter.
