Please Support the Hoover City Schools Foundation!
This unique event is all about giving back — without even leaving your home. Instead of attending a traditional fundraiser, we’re inviting families to enjoy a priceless evening together and donate what they would have spent on event tickets, babysitters, and extras to the Hoover City Schools Foundation. Here's how it works:
- Date & Time: Any day between October 21-November 1, 2024 – in the comfort of your own home.
- Event Overview: Skip the hassle of getting dressed up and hiring a babysitter. Instead, spend quality time with your family at home, whether it’s playing games, watching a movie, or simply enjoying each other's company. In exchange, make a donation to the Foundation that reflects what you would have spent on a night out.
- The Impact: Every donation supports our teacher grant program, which funds innovative classroom projects and enrichment activities that go beyond the standard curriculum. By contributing, you’re investing in the future of our students and schools. We are setting our goal at $15,000!
What Your Gifts Can Do:
- $50 can send one fifth grade student to The Hovercraft Project
- $100 can sponsor two students for GEMS (Girls Engaged in Math and Science)
- $250 can be used for STEM experiments
- $500 funds 25% of a classroom grant
We know that family time is precious and hard to come by, so Game On! is your chance to combine a night of togetherness with meaningful support for our schools.
Volunteer Opportunity on November 20th!
Thanks to Dirty Dog's Car Wash for the amazing lunch for our teachers and staff!
Each dollar brought earns a point for your house!
