COMING SOON...BENEFIT FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Benefit for a Brighter Future has become the year's most anticipated event for those of us with a passion for education in Redwood City and a love of fun.
This year's event promises to be better than ever with an extended cocktail reception featuring musical entertainment and our "Walking, Talking Schools" showcase.
Junior reporters will be working with the Redwood City Patch to cover the evening, including the short and sweet program devoted to stories from our students about how our programs have made a difference in their lives. We will also present our Investor Award to Sequoia Healthcare District for their support of our students through the Healthy Schools Initiative.
Our Pat Crawford Inspiration Award recipient will honored this evening as well. To nominate your most inspirational volunteer, please visit www.benefitforbrighterfuture.org. Nomination deadline is March 1, 2012.
