$91 DONATION DRIVE
We are launching a $91 drive to honor the hundreds of volunteers who worked so hard on Measure E.
$91 represents the amount, per property parcel, that the district would have collected annually for our schools for the next 5 years.
We will direct every $91 donation toward Learning for Music and our SMART grants. These two programs support the spirit of Measure E. Your help means that our children will still benefit from music instruction, enrichment programs, and teaching innovation in spite of the heart-breaking cuts our district faces.
To make your Measure E donation, please send your check to: RCEC $91 Drive, PO Box 3046, Redwood City, CA 94064 or go to www.rcef.org and click on "Make a Donation." Or click here. |
