We topped the $250,000 for total donations allowing the Foundation to provide a $500,000 gift to District 16 which fully funds 12 teaching positions. We thank everyone across our community and the nation who donated to the cause and joined us in standing up for our teachers and their students.

We want to say a special thank you to Ridgewood and Associates, a locally owned Tucson public relations firm, who designed and assisted us in executing the campaign. We owe them a debt of gratitude for donating their time, energy and talent to save teaching positions in a difficult time.

We are honored and humbled by the depth of support by hundreds of families from across the Foothills and the nation – individuals, alumni, families and friends who came together to say “no” to the loss of teachers in District 16. Young and old from across the district joined in and raised donations in innovative and creative ways – lemonade stands, garage sales and supporting the SCORE rally. They gave with their hearts and we thank them!

The CFSD Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to educational excellence in District 16. Although the 30/60 Challenge has ended, we continue to welcome donations that fund teaching positions and other educational programs that otherwise would not exist due to shortfalls in state funding for public education.

Together we are making a difference. Together we have donated over $225,000 during the Catalina Foothills School District (CFSD) Foundation’s 30/60 Challenge campaign to maintain quality education in our schools. Together we refuse to allow state funding cuts to negatively impact our children and their future.

With ten days left to take the 30/60 Challenge, have you helped? It is time now for everyone who is thinking about supporting this important effort to step forward and give. Reach out to your friends and neighbors by reminding them that our entire community benefits when District 16 provides a quality education for every student. Please donate today and join the hundreds of families from across our district who are making a difference!

Since August, the CFSD Foundation has raised over $535,000 to fund teaching positions and in-classroom activities that otherwise would not be funded by the state. With this last push, together we will make it possible to secure even more teaching positions for the next school year. Together we can make a difference.

On behalf of every student in District 16, our deepest thanks to each family, individual and organization who donated. Together we can make a difference!

Today we went over $217,000 raised and ask your help to continue the drive to save as many teaching positions as possible by June 15th! Please join the hundreds of individuals and families who have taken the 30/60 Challenge to maintain educational excellence in District 16!

We ask each family to raise or donate $500 by 15 June to help fully fund the teaching positions slated for cut. In these difficult economic times our community can preserve the promise of tomorrow for our students. Donations of any size donation are greatly appreciated.

In addition several restaurants and business partners have joined us – you can contribute by using our Dining Challenge restaurants.
