Tulita Elementary Wins Fundraising Competition

The Redondo Beach Educational Foundation recently concluded its Club 360  fundraising drive after exceeding its initial goal of $200,000.

The foundation launched Club 360 a few months ago to pay for school programs in music, science, sports and safety as well as mini grants for teachers in Redondo Beach during the slow economy. Schools competed to see which campus could raise the most money.

The campaign asked principals, teachers, PTA leaders, administrators and Redondo Beach residents to make donations to assist schools.

The drive raised $208,280, and the top four schools received a grant from the foundation:

Champion School: Tulita Elementary School     won a $3,000 grant

First Runner-Up: Lincoln Elementary School     won a $2,000 grant

Second Runner-Up: Jefferson Elementary School    won a $1,000 grant

Third Runner-Up: Alta Vista Elementary School     won a $750 grant

The Club 360 fundraising drive and competition may be over, but the foundation continues to collect donations online. Congratulations to the winners of the Club 360 school competition.
