Organized by committed volunteers who like to have fun while raising needed dollars, our annual fundraising events offer opportunities to support the mission of the foundation through sponsorship, donation of auction items and event participation. These grassroots fundraising efforts provide the majority of the Foundation’s grant dollars.
Maybe it was a field trip that sparked your lifelong interest in nature and the environment, or a blue ribbon at the science fair that led to your career as an engineer. All of us have an educational memory that influenced who we are. Supporting RREF allows us to fund the “extras” in the educational experience that serve as the seeds for new ideas and career choices.
People often spend the first half of their lives acquiring things; the second half making their lives relevant. Estate plans that include RREF are one way to help ensure the continuity of your commitment to the educational development of our children. Legacy gifts can be designated to support endowment growth, a named scholarship fund or left unrestricted to support the greatest need. The RREF can offer assistance in designing a planned gift that is perfectly matched to your educational values.
Supporting our work to enrich and provide added quality to the educational experience in Rocky River is easy. Donate or request a meeting with a Foundation Trustee.
