Thank you to all the generous people who have helped before and our future contributors. Both these organizations do fantastic work for our schools so let's make it a record breaking fundraising night.
The Elverado Booster Club and the Elverado PTO are organizations that provide funds for kids to participate in school sports and funds for academics, teacher grants for classrooms, school equipment for classrooms and funds in our entire school district.
Sports can give them discipline, teamwork skills, setting goals, and sometimes an extra role model in life. We also cover costs for low income families for equipment, insurance, doctor's physicals, startup costs, etcetera for our entire school district.
We also award sports scholarships (when funds are available). Any family that needs help for their child can contact their school or coach.
We can help you.The more money we raise, the more kids we can help.
