Golf for Education V
 

The Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF) hosted its annual golf tournament, Golf for Education V, on July 27.  The fund raiser, held at the beautiful Perry Park Country Club in Larkspur, was presented by RBC Capital Markets, HSA Bank, ISC, and FirstBank.  All of those in attendance, including 140 golfers and 40+ volunteers, enjoyed a picture perfect day while raising money for the Foundation.

The DCEF would like to extend a special thank you to all of our gracious sponsors for their support in continuing to make Golf for Education a great success! Approximately $48,000 was raised at this year's event.  Monies raised will go to support technology initiatives for teachers and students in Douglas County School District classrooms, and will help "Fill the Gap" caused by our current economic climate.

DCEF Partnership Program
 

The Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF) in cooperation with the Douglas County School District (DCSD) and the Douglas County Federation of Teachers/Classified Employees (DCF), as well as numerous local and national businesses, have established the "DCEF Partnership Program."  The program encourages businesses to create special incentive programs that provide resources and benefits to the employees and residents of Douglas County schools. 

The program itself is designed to address the daily expenditures of employees and residents.  The intent is to provide the best possible opportunity for them to receive the biggest bang for their buck!  This is not a marketing program for our partners. These partners have all made substantial commitments to the employees of the DCSD, through the Foundation.
 
Employees will now be able to access these opportunities through a variety of locations, all ending up at the DCEF website under Partnerships. Here's a sampling of companies that have already made a commitment to the DCEF Partnership Program: AutoNation Direct, Papa John's, Breckenridge Resorts, 24 Hour Fitness, Ralph Schomp Automotive, Verizon Wireless and many more on the way!

Local Value Fundraising

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.
