The Friends of Laurelhurst Elementary School Foundation (FOLF), a nonprofit organization, is having their Annual Five for Five Celebration/ Dinner and Wine Tasting on Saturday at JM Winery in Woodinville. The Party Bus will once again pick up the party goers at the school for this fun evening out.
The owners of JM Winery, John and Peggy Bigelow, are parents of children who are Laurelhurst Elementary Alumni.
Mary, 545 Co-Chair, told us that once again this year JM Winery, is generously donating the use of their winery as well as a portion of all the wine sales on Saturday evening back to the Friends of the Laurelhurst School Foundation.
Last year's event was fun not only fun, but successful in supporting the Foundation.
The primary vehicle for fundraising for the Foundation is through the Five for Five campaign, which is comprised of a group of Laurelhurst parents and grandparents who commit to donating $500 for a total of 5 years. All Five for Five participants are invited to this annual event to celebrate their commitment.
More about the Foundation from their website:
The Friends of Laurelhurst School Foundation was formed over 10 years ago by a group of parents, alumni and neighbors of Laurelhurst Elementary, who were dedicated to support our school by helping to fund an endowment that enriches the educational experience for each Laurelhurst Student. The foundation not only promotes a positive image of the public schools, but it also raises funds to help Laurelhurst Elementary Students of today and future generations.
We are a group of parents, alumni and neighbors dedicated to supporting our school by helping to fund an endowment that enrich the educational experience for each Laurelhurst Student. Our goal is for the endowment to reach an initial threshold amount of $1,000,000. Currently, we are over 1/2 of the way to our goal and have already contributed more than $120,000 to our school.
