Grafton Education Foundation reports strong turnout and near-$10,000 fundraising goal
Summary
A Grafton Education Foundation member told the board the foundation's event drew 566 registrants and that the group is close to reaching a $10,000 one-day fundraising goal; the speaker also asked to expand board membership to include business and community representatives.
During the public-comment period on June 23, a member of the Grafton Education Foundation (Speaker 5) thanked board members and reported the foundation's one-day event had 566 registered attendees and was close to a $10,000 goal for the day.
The speaker said the foundation will return several fundraisers this fall — including Seeds to Harvest, Portraits in the Park and trivia night — and told the board the group hopes to recruit additional members from businesses and community stakeholders to strengthen partnerships with the Grafton School District.
"We had 566 total registered that day," the speaker said, and added, "I'm pretty sure we reached our goal of $10,000 which is amazing for a 1 day."
