Education Foundation Fundraiser – ALLEGRO – Heralds of Harmony

Posted on April 1st, 2011 by

On May 1st, 2011 the Citrus County Education Foundation is unveiling our new Signature Event Fundraiser – ALLEGRO.

ALLEGRO (Advancing Learning and Literacy Education through Grants and Resources Opportunities) This year ALLEGRO will feature the Heralds of Harmony, a premier men’s a cappella chorus, and Harmony Explosion, made up of Citrus County’s own high school students. The event will be held at Curtis Peterson Auditorium on May 1 at 2pm.

As this year’s president of the Education Foundation, I am asking for your financial support for our ALLEGRO fundraiser.  And there are several ways you can help.  The first way is to purchase ad space in our concert program.  There are various sponsorship levels, with the top levels including tickets to ALLEGRO.   You can also purchase individual ALLEGRO tickets and attend the concert.  Tickets, available through me, are $15 – general seating and $25 – premier seating.

What is the Education Foundation and what does this organization do? For the past six years I have served as a board member on the Education Foundation.  Since 1988, this non-profit organization has raised and invested over $700,000 in students, teachers and staff in the Citrus County public schools.  Some of our programs include:

Teacher Mini-Grants: We awarded over $35,000 in October 2010 to help teachers implement unique learning opportunities for students of all grades.

Scholarships: We offer several scholarships to college bound seniors each spring.  Support staff members in the school system who are pursuing a teaching career can apply for our Aspiring Teachers Scholarships.

School – to – Work: This program helps students who are enrolled in the career academies to have the necessary training and practical skills needed to enter the workforce upon graduation.

Field Trips & Fairs: We support the Math, Science and Art fairs and make it possible for students with financial needs to go on school field trips.

Literacy Programs: The Education Foundation facilitated bringing the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to Citrus County.  With community support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library provides books to young children to help instill a love of reading.

Education is the key to our future and I hope you will join me in supporting the Education Foundation’s ALLEGRO so that we can continue to enhance the educational opportunities for students, teachers, staff and our Citrus County public schools.

Please contact Education Foundation President Rhonda Kauffman directly (kauffamily@yahoo.com or her cell at 352-634-1478) for tickets or to be a sponsor for this event.
