The first ever Douglas County School District Community Night with the Colorado Rapids was held on Saturday, August 16th, 2008 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The host Colorado Rapids defeated the Kansas City Wizards 2-1 on a wet and chilly summer night. 

Almost 500 Douglas County soccer fans were able to purchase discounted tickets for this new community fundraiser.  One dollar of each ticket sold was given back to the DCEF raising approximately $500 to directly benefit Douglas County Schools.   

The Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF) is proud to announce a fundraising opportunity to Invest in Our Future by raffling a home.  This brilliantly built 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath Townhome worth over $235,000 is located in Parker, Colorado at Highlands at Stonegate.  The Inglenook model home is upgraded with a custom paint package, a kitchen that boasts slab granite countertops, stainless steel appliances & cherry cabinets and an attached 2-car garage.

The DCEF is proud to announce a new fundraising partnership with Local Value Fundraising.  LVF is a free online program that will allow our schools to raise money safely and effectively 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Unlike most fundraising programs, Local Value does not require our school's students or parents to purchase products for resale, sell items door-to-door, collect money or deliver orders to customers. All students and parents need to do is direct their supporters to their respective school's webpage (provided at no charge to each school and fundraising group), where consumers can purchase credits good at over 100 local businesses here in Douglas County that offer all sorts of products and services.  More businesses are joining every week and the choices are growing.

Our schools receive a 40% commission on all sales made thru their webpage.  An additional 10% is donated to the DCEF.  LVF handles all orders, payment processing and deliveries.

To sign up for the FREE Local Value Fundraising Program go to: www.localvaluefundraising.com or contact the DCEF.

The 2007-2008 Douglas County School District Employee Appreciation and Discount Program Booklet is now available.   The DCEF is very excited to provide the 2nd Annual Edition as a benefit to all DCSD employees.   A variety of discounts and offers are available free of charge through this program coordinated by the Foundation with many local and statewide businesses.   To view or print the complete 07-08 booklet click here...
