2013 3VEF Raffle Winners Awarded $20,450
The Three Village Educational Foundation is holding its Annual Fundraiser again this year! Last year’s winners, Barbara Walker, Patricia Clark Huber, Suzanne Loverro, Kathleen Shults, Renee Wolf- Calvin each received $4090.00 after splitting a jackpot of $20,450!
As a result of their tremendous fundraising initiative, the Three Village Educational Foundation has made great strides toward accomplishing its goal of purchasing new uniforms for the award-winning Ward Melville High School Marching Band. The total for replacing the current polyester uniforms that date back to 1977 is approximately $48,000.
Beginning earlier this year and running through the start of November 2013, the 3VEF collected donations toward the cause through its annual 50/50 fundraiser. At its’ Nov. 20, 2013 meeting, the Board of Education gratefully accepted a $40,000 donation from Foundation members Karen Foda and Barbara Konczynin, which will be directly applied to the cause. After the ceremonial presentation, the Board graciously thanked members of the Foundation for their continued efforts to support and enhance the quality of the educational program provided to district students.
In true 50/50 raffle spirit, the Foundation also announced that five district retirees were the lucky recipients of the split chance fundraiser. Pictured here are the winners along with members of the Foundation at the meeting.
