PAY IT FORWARD!

A generous family of a graduating 8th grader invites other families to join them in making a legacy gift to the RCEF.

In their words, "Let's make sure that ALL children get the best education possible, after ALL children are EVERYONE'S future!"

You can join the Pay It Forward campaign by sending your check to: RCEF, PO Box 3046, Redwood City, 94064, or by clicking here. Be sure to note you are Paying it Forward!

 

Thank you to everyone who contributes to this unique and thoughtful gift to our students.
