After Red Ball, Fundraising Goal Much Nearer

Congratulations on a wonderful Red Ball 2009! The event was beautiful and full of positive energy for our children and Ainsworth Elementary.

Your time, energy, procurements and purchases made the event a success. A special thank you to the following people who had integral roles in putting this year’s event together: Jennifer O’Brien, Trina Denson, Marla McLeod-Ali, Kerry Godfrey-Scroggins, Lucy Reynolds, Veronica Powell, Heidi Butenshoen, Judy Evans, Nancy Zadoff, Jackie Blodgett, Nancy Leitgeb, April Leahy, Lauren Christensen, Greg Epkes, Monica Santi, Felicia Torres, and Kate Swindell.

After Red Ball and other fundraising to date, the Foundation has raised approximately $220,000 this year. Congratulations to the Ainsworth community for completing our auction so successfully in what is certainly an economically challenging year!

Our target for the Foundation contribution for the upcoming 2009-2010 year is $262,000. At that level we hope to be able to maintain all existing programs and positions at Ainsworth. So as you can see, we are well underway in our fundraising for this year but need to fill the gap in the next months. Thanks for your continuing help as we focus on raising our remaining $42,000. We are close to the finish line but will need your help to keep Ainsworth’s level of excellence high!

With warmest regards,

Christine Carr and Anne Rohosy
