Silver Gate school fundraising event sets record Silver Gate Elementary School shattered its school record for fundraising during its 17th annual Hot Rods and Hogs live auction and dinner dance on April 20. The event was held at Liberty Station to raise proceeds for the school’s Friends of Silver Gate Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to financially supporting the school’s enrichment programs like the school’s eco-lab, classroom assistants, teacher grants, computer lab and other things. Because of the event’s highly-successful live auction, the foundation raised money to bridge the funding gap and help save the school’s seven classroom assistants who will provide extra support to teachers and students next year. “The outpouring of support and commitment from our parents and community was overwhelming,” said Sandy McClure, Silver Gate Elementary’s principal. “It was a truly spectacular event. We all had a great time for a great cause and I appreciate all the contributions that help make school great at Silver Gate.” For more event information and to find out about its sponsors and vendors, visit www.silvergateschool.com.
