Many successful foundations have found that identifying a specific program need will motivate generous supporters to make a donation to “Fund A Need” rather than participate in a live auction.

The district curriculum team recommended that our 2012 Fund A Need was to purchase a set of (5) iPads for the library resource center in each of the district's 11 school buildings.  The iPads would be available for all staff members to check out for use in a particular project.  Click on the link below to see the many ways in which iPads can be used in the classroom.

Making a “Fund A Need” donation at the Celebration will be very easy. Just Raise Your Hand as the auctioneer and Yolanda Harris conduct a spirited bidding campaign. Decide what amount you would like to give and Just Raise Your Hand.

All donations will go to the purchase of the designated Fund A Need and will allow GJEF to continue our efforts to “Promote Excellence.”

Speaking for our teachers and students,

Thanks For Just Raising Your Hand.
