Strive for Excellence Program
Fund Raising Outline
• The goal of the “Strive for Excellence”
program is to tap into cash or equipment
donations from the families and business
in our community. The current economic
realities and subsequent budgetary shift
away from education funding leaves all
school departments in need of new and
untapped monetary contributions.
