It’s Back to School time and the Education Foundation is ready!
In conjunction with the SDIRC’s School Choice and Community Extravaganza, scheduled for October 9, 2021, at the IG Center, The Education Foundation will be conducting both an onsite and online raffle/silent auction fundraiser. We would love to have your participation in this fundraising event.
There are several ways to donate:
Create a Basket of your Choice
You can include some branded items to promote your business to families.
Donate Items and Gift Certificates
Education Foundation has creative volunteers ready with supplies to pack and wrap.
Big ticket items and vacation packages will be in the online auction to share the fundraiser with a wider audience. If we get unusual or special interest items, the online auction items can be promoted to collectors. We will gratefully accept what you have to give to make this event a huge success for the students, teachers, and schools in Indian River County.
Support Small Business and Education Foundation
Purchase a gift certificate from your favorite small business and donate it to the auction.
Here are some of the items we think families will be excited to bid on:

Our goal is to raise $7500, and all donors will be provided with an acknowledgment and recognition for supporting the event.
If you are in another city, traveling or find it easier to make a monetary contribution, we can add your donation directly to the bottom line of this fundraiser. It is easy to donate on the Education Foundation website https://www.edfoundation.org or send a check by mail to PO Box 7046, Vero Beach FL 32961.
Let’s make this the best year for our students, teachers and schools.
Best Regards,
