RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION WILL HOLD FALL GATHERING ON OCTOBER 25

Annual Event at Fair Haven's Raven & the Peach Will Include Games and Raffles
 to Raise Funds for High School Education Initiatives

Rumson-Fair Haven High School Foundation, a non-profit organization of parents and faculty which supports educational programs at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School, announced that it will hold its fall fundraiser on October 25 at Fair Haven’s Raven & The Peach Restaurant on River Road, from 6:30 to 9:30pm.

Founded in 2001, the R-FH High School Foundation is a charitable organization whose mission is to fund projects and grants that will enrich the high school education program. The grants, proposed by teachers and the board, provide state-of-the-art technology, resources and creative supplements to RFHRHS consistent with the Foundation’s commitment to exceptional education. Field trips, transportation costs, auxiliary classroom equipment, speakers and presentations are just a few of the various items granted through the Foundation.

The Foundation has successfully completed several significant capital campaigns including a world language computer lab, an auditorium projection system, and high-technology lab. The organization recently completed the Auditorium Sound and Lighting Project. Since it’s inception, the Foundation has raised over $500,000 for capital campaigns and numerous smaller grants.

“This event is a great way for parents to connect with other parents and meet the R-FH staff as we start the new year, while at the same time supporting some fabulous programs which will benefit our children, said R-FH Foundation president Judi Tavill. “ We are extremely proud of all the innovative, exciting projects we’ve supported over the years, and our donors make them possible!”
