“Champions Helping Children” gala set for October 28

American educator Robert Maynard Hutchins once wrote, “The objective of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.”
These sentiments echo the vision and mission of the Oracle School Foundation’s commitment to excellence and continuing its support of every Oracle pre-school student to strive and achieve success in their education. Through contributions, grants and corporate sponsorships, our “Champions Helping Children” enabled 32 three-and-four-year old Oracle School District children to attend pre-school this past year.
We are committed to again fund children for the coming school year. Our major annual fundraiser will be held Sunday, October 28, 2018, at 5:30 p.m. in SaddleBrooke One’s Vistas at SaddleBrooke Clubhouse. The evening will include dinner, a live auction, a 50/50 raffle and entertainment by a select group of SaddleBrooke Singers performing Broadway favorites.
The dinner menu offers an entree choice of a dry-aged pork t-bone with bourbon apple demi, Mexican seabass with pumpkin puree, or stuffed portabella mushroom with polenta. These are served with a salad of mixed greens, craisins, toasted pepitas and feta cheese, brown rice with carrots, celery and onion and grilled zucchini. Dessert will be petite cheesecake with chocolate sauce.
Tickets for our Champions Helping Children Gala cost $65 each. For more information, to reserve your seats and select your menu options, please go to www.OracleSchoolsFoundation.com/events. The deadline for reservations is October 20, 2018.
Please join us for this very special evening of fun, festivities and friendship as we continue to strive for and to fund positive, educational opportunities for our Oracle pre-school students.
