The Albany Public Schools Foundation has concentrated its efforts in two successful area:
- classroom grants
- student scholarships
|
The foundation hosts two annual fund raising events to achieve the goals of our organization. They are:
- Eat and Run: September of each year the Foundation hosts a two day event. The first evening begins with a meal the day before the 5K run and walk. Funds are generated from corporate sponsorships, meal tickets and participation fees. Net proceeds are used to fund arts and activities grants through the classroom grants program. The Eat and Run event will be on September 17, 2010 for the eating portion and September 18, 2010 for the morning run/walk. Click here for more information on this event.
- February of each year, the Foundation hosts a Swim-A-Lap event. Students obtain pledges for this event and swim at South Albany Community Pool. Half of the funds raised in Swim-A-Lap go directly back to the schools of the swimmers. The other half of the funds go to the Foundation and are distributed through the classroom grants program. The Swim-a-Lap event will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2010 from 8:00-11:00 am at South Albany Community Pool. Click here for more information on this event.
