Since inception in 1999, the Foundation has provided over $3.6 million in support to Mariners Elementary School. The Foundation works closely with the principal, faculty, and the PTA to determine appropriate funding priorities to enrich the students, school, and staff.
How do we do it?
The Foundation raises funds primarily from Mariners parents as well as the local community and welcomes donations of any kind. The four primary fund raising events each year are:
PLEDGE DRIVE
Pledge Drive is an ongoing fundraising campaign where people can make cash donations to the Foundation. Each year, the Pledge Drive kicks off with the return of school in September and you are encouraged to make your donations at that time. This fundraising campaign usually generates about 40% of the annual funds raised by the Foundation.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS
You can also raise money for the Foundation by participating in the Ralphs Community Contribution Program.
