The Berryessa Education Foundation is an important part of the Berryessa community. Every year, they raise tens of thousands of dollars for the 13 schools in our district. Teachers can apply for grants to fund projects or buy supplies for their classrooms.
The biggest fundraiser of the year for the Berryessa Education Foundation is the "Raffle to Make a Difference." Last year, the foundation raised over $20,000 from the raffle. Tickets cost $4 each and can be purchased at any district school. For each ticket bought, half the money goes directly to the school where the ticket was sold, and the other half goes to the foundation.
There are all kinds of great prizes, from electronics like TVs, tablets, and an Xbox, to services and entertainment tickets. A complete prize list can be found here.
The drawing will take place on Saturday, March 24, at 11:00, at the district office. You don't have to be present to win. Stop by your local school today to buy tickets.
